leak from oil pan

It has 2, upper and lower. Lower can be done with engine in car, upper I'm not certain but I think
that requires some disassembly. Not sure if it means engine has to come out, but may be engine mounts need to be unbolted and/or subframe dropped. Upper oil pan leak ususally results in oil appearing on the tranny and at first glance seems like a possible RMS leak. If it is just oil on the lower pan where the temp sensor and drain plug is located, that is relatively simple. Good luck!

BTW, fix is not actually a gasket, per se, but rather sealant - there is a special Audi spec so you
may want to get that. My guess is that there is a generic equivalent, but you never know with these cars - they tend to run a lot hotter than dometics and may require an especially robust sealant formulation.

Both my upper and lower were done by dealer under warranty and sealant was used on both. There may
in fact be a gasket, but they told me at the time that the revised fix was sealant on both. They have proven themselves liars in the past, so maybe this is not true. Just my experience.
