Hi all,
Over the last couple weeks, I've noticed some dampness due to an oil leak somewhere near the front of my 2007 V8 FSI engine. I cleaned the area as best I could last night and after driving today, I believe I've found the location of the leak, but I have no idea what i'm looking at!
Best I can do is show you guys these pics. The first one is looking from afar, you can see i've removed the front top black cover and circled the location of where I see the oil first pool up. The second pic is slightly more zoomed up and the last pick shows a small hole about 0.5" in diameter where I believe the oil is coming out of and pooling in the area circled in red in the first 2 pics. I stuck a screwdriver in there and can splash some oil out of there. Do you guys know if there should be a cover over this hole or something? or why there is oil in this area?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
