Where is the camshaft tensioner seal? Oil Leak...
At my last oil change they recommended that I replace my camshaft tensioner seal and all of a sudden I have a decent oil leak. I'm leaving oil every time I park for more than a couple hours. I'm assuming it's this particular seal and was wondering where exactly it's located? Anyone have experience changing this? Please Help!

Its at the top of your head, there is two in the head and one in the block...
If you did not do the oil change at Audi, and did it at a penzoil or some other place like that. Chances are they did not tighten the oil drain bolt...<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com">Click here, they should have what you're looking for...</a></li></ul>

Is it coming from the front? There are three seals there and one crankcase... The seals are really
cheap, but the labour will be a bit more than changing a timing belt. I would do all of these including changing the rad if its leaking. I don't think you have much of a choice, unless you like to find puddles of oil in your driveway... Chance of an engine fire also increases... Good luck, hopefully it won't cost you too much...
