I just had an oil change and my flex/catalytic converter changed and Speedy told me I have a leak from my upper? oil pan and my axle seals (rear differential) are also leaking a bit. I never see any oil on the ground however have now started to smell some after driving for a while. ANy idea how expensive these repairs are? Are they common for this model? Should I only have an Audi Dealer do the repairs? Otherwise a great dependable vehicle! Tx. Ottawa

Speedy oil change? Have it checked by someone other than an oil change person just to be sure. AFAIK They always seem to say OIL PAN even if the leak is much higher up the engine and leaking down the oil pan. Are you sure it is oil you are smelling and not exhaust from the work that was just done? How much oil do you have to add every XXX miles?

I have it changed every 5,000 Km/3000 miles--mainly highway too. I was
100 km/60 miles over when the low oil warn> Speedy oil change?
