That oil leak

[Neil Swanson <75377.3445@CompuServe.COM>]

Update,

Well it seems to be dry now.  I want to get it up on my ramps though to be sure.

I looked in Bentley and yes the front cover, or what would simply be a cover
with an oil seal on most cars is in fact the oil pump too.  Only an Audi.  

It does make sense that if it loosened up it could be one hell of a leak.  And
it was.

Now if I can find where half an inch of petosin is going every two weeks and do
it while the car is under the warranty then I'll be happy.

Oh and last week for her birthday, not the car, the owner I slipped in a Kenwood
CD player.  Without all the factory amp crap the Crutchfield adapters made it
almost too easy.  I was done so fast I thought I must have left something out.
I forget the model but it has enough of a built in amp (20w rms x4) to run some
better speakers at some point.  I just don't see her wanting the big amp and
mega speaker thing.  Heh, she likes it.  That was the point.

Stay tuned for oil reports.
