Default Updates on AC and stuff.... and leaking oil!

Hey, y'all!

I posted not-so-long ago that my AC was blowing hot. I found no codes using VAG-COM. When we switched the middle control to neutral or cold, ice cold air came out the center vents, but piping hot air is still coming out the driver and passenger side vents on each far side of the dash. No rhyme or reason...

Also, the drivetrain is ill. I'm going through a quart of oil every two weeks or so. I think it's blowing out the rear main when driving, since it doesn't pool up when parked but the under-engine plastic cover seems to get grimed up. I also heard that I should check the rear cam seals. Is there an easy way to do this?

You would smell the rear cam seal -- the oil drops on the exhaust

Default My in-laws and wife have noticed the smell; wife has been driving the A8 lately and not me...

I'll have to search for 'rear cam seal' here...
