Hey everyone, new to the forum, new to Audis. Friday I picked up a 01 A6 2.7t quattro 140k trip. With in the three days of having I've replaced the ECT sensor (blue to green top) and the blinker relay went out. Now I have an oil leak, came out to it this morning with about a 7in wide oil spot which looked to be right in the middle of the car. Anytime I drive the car for 20-30 mins and turn the engine off, the drivers side of the engine bay smokes a little from oil being burned. I'm hoping it's just the valve cover gaskets, or even breather hose and not something like the cam caps or cam seals. Any input in greatly appreciated

The valve covers, cam adjuster seals and oil pan usually leak oil in the 2.7 and the 2.8 engine.

if you DIY it can be done under 150 dollars.
