Hi Everyone ,

New to the forum so apologise if I have gone about this the incorrect way . I had a gearbox service done on my 2015 2.0 tdi audi q5, upon inspection the mechanic found an accumulation of oil on the undertray (driver side) attached photo. I'm wondering if this is an obvious sign of a common leak on these engines. My cousin who is a mechanic will be taking a look but would like an idea on what this could be in the meantime .

 

Many Thanks,

DanOrm94

Hi at about that age it could be a driveshaft seal but most likely the sump seal is weeping or even a crank seal the list of options is endless, from what I can see its not drastic clean it all up with some brake cleaner and have a look a couple of days later.
