Oil leak help S5 n/a
Hi guys, i have a oil leak and i thought it was the oil pan gasket but i was wrong, so i lifted the car today and when i looked under the car the oil seems to be coming from the passenger side because it looks like fresh oil, can anyone help me in the right direction on what might be the cause

Thanks CrispyRX7
i removed the fan and saw how dirty the engine bay was of grease, the mop was so dirty so i kinda cleaned it and turned the car on, when the car was on i figured oil would be leaking from the mop but i was wrong it was leaking from here, what should i do, is this difficult to remove and what should i do before i remove it? i figured that the engine bay was so dirty bc of this leak and the fan moving so much causing to dirty everything

Those are the lines to and from your oil cooler. Remove them and install a good set of braided SS lines which typicaly run about $100-$150. R&R of those lines is not a hard task.

Call around to local hydraulic shops. You might be able to have new lines made from the fittings on your old lines, for less money than online, and same-day service. It doesn't hurt to call and ask!

My lines are leaking as well I just got a set of corksport lines; not a bad price for some bling and piece of mind

it also looks like the oil metering pump may be leaking. i would take it off and replace the o-ring just to be on the safe side.
you really dont NEED the o-ring. you can use copper rtv sealant. jut make sure you put enough in the o-ring indentation so it will seal up to the front cover nice and tight.

well finally picked up the Lines and it was still pricey for a hydraulic shop, they charged me 125bucks :0 i thought it would be cheaper than that
