I am Burning Oil somehow
#11
i burn a lot of oil too. i have a 2001, i do smell it some times and i can see it too.
in the pass side turbo i dont know if one of the lines is leaking or what the probem is or if there is any problem at all.
PS: i have a stage 3 so that might make a diff.

A tale of oil consumption: two 2000 S4's
My friend and I both have 2000 S4 6spd's. Both have the oil (M1 5-30 and 0-40 since it's been available) changed at 8k/mi intervals. We both followed Audi's reccommended break-in period.
His car has always used ~1qt/8000 miles, mine uses ~zero. My car had been chipped since about 10k/mi and gets the "beat down". His is bone stock. He babies the car, rarely getting into boost.
My car has had the turbos done at 60k (actually twice, again at 65k, but the dealer got FOD in the intake tract so we'll say once)and now has 75k on the clock with no internal engine problems. He is still on his OE turbos at 105k on the clock, again with no problems other than the tiny bit of oil consumption.
I think this illustrates the "high stress" break-in procedure, which states that high combustion chamber temperatures are needed to properly break-in a reciprocating engine. These temperatures expand the piston/ring package and properly mate them into the cylinder bores.
Anyhow you might also want to check your drip pan. Oil could accumulate there, only to be dumped on the road the first time you accelerate or stop hard. I had my cam adjuster seals replaced along with my drivers side valve cover gasket under warranty. No evidence of these needed repairs was ever left on my white concrete garage floor or driveway. RMS is still holding strong.

Sounds like cam adjuster seals and/or valve cover gaskets.
They leak right on the exhaust manifold and downpipe. I had mine done at 50k The replacements are holding strong.
