98Quattro

So i have a 98 A6 Q 2.8L and have replaced the following gaskets/seals on my car:

Valve cover gaskets
Camchain tensioner gaskets with half moon seals
Lower oil pan gasket

Yesterday I changed out my lower oil pan gasket while I performed a routine oil change. Before doing this job I noticed a drip of oil a day under the car on the passenger side. Now after changing out the oil pan gasket, over night oil dripped under the center of the enine. My cover is on the car and I didn't have time to look this morning as my wife drives the car to work.

What else could be leaking? I'll make sure I torqued the bolts down properly again on the oil pan but isn't it 7 ft/lbs torque???

Thanks in advance.

Wash that engine, drive a bit, and look for leaks.

Where is the Crank Seal located?

There are cam seals (as opposed to cam adjuster seals) at the front of back one and the front and back of bank two (4 in total). Crank seals are at the front and back of the crank.

Check the cam plugs first, and take another look at the cam adjuster seals. If that job was not done right you'll have leaks.

do you have a pic of what a cam plug looks like?

Not hard to see. Right by cam adjuster on bank one and cam position sensor on bank two.

Could the cam position sensors leak oil as well?
