I finally went under my car and found that leak...its seems like its from the oil cooler and also in the back of the engine, somewhere under the TB, I stuck my hand there and found it on some kinda of pipe or something...is it big deal...i am not sure how much I am loosing and could it be fromoil cooler?

The oil leak you say that is under the TB is most likely the valley pan, i just got quoted $200 to get that replaced by dealer. The valley pan is under the intake manifold. The dealer was actually cheaper than a couple other places.

I have the same issue. The oil leak from the oil cooler i think get thrown around when the car is running and stick all over the pan or deeper. I looked around and my oilpan seems kind of dry and I see fresh new oil around.

Oil cooler gasket/seal is cheap but replacing it is a lot more. I was going to do it last week but I wasn't ready for taking a couple of hoses off and drain the coolant. I just went ahead and tighten the 22mm (i think) nut that holds it since it somehow felt a little loose. So far I am not loosing as much but haven't checked down the botton since. I will change it later in the spring.

BTW, while your down there or the next time you are, can you verify if this wire is hanging by itself and not connected to something?

yeah...I'll see for the wire but I don't believe Audi would just leave it there hanging???

I could not find where it would go. There's actually two of them and the other one is plugged in. Another fellow here in the forum confirmed that he's was the same deal as mine and both our cars are working just fine. Hmmmm!!


Oh! did you lower your car yet? If so, any pics?
