I believe I have an oil leak comming from this hose under the belly pan.
I dont think its a major problem as I dont notice any engine performance difference or oil temperature changes while driving.

It could be from somewhere from around that area leaking above the hose but i notice a good amount of oil on the hose before it drops on the floor.

Im not sure what/where this hose connects to but can anybody help me identify it???????????

You should embed pics so its easier for us. And that looks like you taking pics of wiring, not a hose lol. Is this 2.8?

 

Nope its the 1.8T

The pics tur out huge after embedding them.lol

Do you know any oil hoses that run above area of that cable?

 

Damn those pics need to be resized lol... It was better before... But it looks like its the driver side, correct? There is the oil cooler/filter housing, which have sensors and the feed for your turbo oil supply, plus the oil filter, and two gaskets (metal one on the block and a rubber o-ring one between the housing and cooler). Then you have your oil dipstick tube which is held into the block with an o-ring. Then theres the breather for the pcv system which can leak some gunky oil and **** if its cracked. other than that, theres you valve cover gasket. Pretty much all the oil related stuff over there that I can think of.

 

Maybe I'm just dense or it's early but HTF does this correlate to the OP's post, on an Audi forum, regarding an Audi leaking oil?

 

yanno imthdevil??? I'm like...ummm...why did this n00b just sqat and **** all over this guys post? LMFAO! not even mentioning the fact that what the n00b was talking about isn't even a Audi taboot!

Thats a perm bann right thurr!

 

It's a spambot, ImTheDevil. We get visits from these knuckleheads all the time on some of the wargaming forums that I belong to. They're getting pretty smart, too. Sometimes they'll actually copy and paste text from legit posts and so they often sound somewhat on-topic.

But they're still spambots, and the hackers who program them should be taken out and shot....after being drawn and quartered, of course.

 

Yeah I figured as much. I'm using AF mobile through my phone so sigs and other things that would tip me off don't show up, and mobile doesn't allow us to ban offenders either. I'll nuke him later today if someone else doesn't do so before then.

 

It almost looks like the turbo oil drain line, or the sensor on the pan,

Cant tell though

 

AGREE!!!
I took thoe pics a while back during my timing belt job and dont exactly know the exact location. The oil drips on the floor looks more in the center location of the vehicle.
I dont feel like solving the problem at the moment as its "not a major problem"

but since its leaking oil....

Should I add more oil into the engine?
Should I get more frequent oil change?

Yup Yup..im a noob!
