I need an exlpoded view of an A4 18T Engine.
We are trying to track down an oil leak. Probably valve cover passenger side rear, but we want to be sure befor we open up.
Thanks all

pic...
Thing on the rear of the cylinder head is the cam chain tensioner/adjuster. These leak with considerable frequency. I advise you replace the tensioenr seal with the valve cover gasket... you should have a No.3366 tool on hand to compress the tensioner.

thanks for the pic..
going by your pic. the leak is on the right rear. Somewhere from around the chain area.
I'm saying this based only on the visual pool of oil accumulating on a ridge of the engine below the valve cover section.
