Default Just bought a 2012 S4 with 27000 miles, 1 week later oil leak

Hey guys. I wasnt positive which thread I should post this in (sorry I am brand new to the site).

I have only driven it to and from work for 1 week (about 25 min each way).

I have noticed a smell once in a while when I accelerate to merge onto the highway but it is faint and goes away after a minute. Otherwise no smell noticed.

This morning it was lightly raining and I noticed what I first thought was probably an oil leak.

I went to pop the hood and the lever / latch appears to be jammed (the one inside the car not the hood latch).

On a scale of 1 - 10 how aggrivated should I be and should I calm down and let them take a look at it or demand to have it returned?

It has a 60 day warranty but I purchased a 4 year up to 75k warranty from them also.

Please help :\

Notify the dealer and if your not happy with the resolution see if they will refund or swap with another vehicle.

Thanks ScrewGuy. I did contact them and they called me today after I dropped it off yesterday. He said it is ready today to be picked up.

I was told the oil cap under the car where it drains was leaking so they replaced it at no charge. I asked if they could top off my oil at no cost and they said they did. I will have to check but if this is actually resolved then I am OK with it.

Hoping for the best, I love the car.
