Default What is wrong with my engine?

It loses about 1/2 quart in 3,000 miles. On one of the bolts on top of the valve cover, oil appears to be slowly leaking out. I was wondering if anybody could tell me exactly what the issue is, and how hard it would be to fix. It's a 2007 2.0 Turbo.

Thanks!

Could be a valve cover gasket. I've seen similar on our A6 V6 engine.

Yes it is. Start learning about the a4 2.0t and decide if you want to do work yourself. Your car is hitting planned obsolescence milestone.
