Default A4 Avant Problems

Anyone know of or having problems with oil sepage thru the chain tensioners on the 2 cam shafts?

I have had this problem twice now. The first, both parts that attach to the 2 cams were malfunctioning. It was leaking oil around the lower engine. It took them 2 weeks of taking the engine apart to fix it.

Then 3 weeks later one of the two failed again. The car is still in the shop as i write this.

I was just wondering if any others were having similar problems and if anyone knows what my recourse might be becasue its a leased car.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. At this point i want to hand the key to the leasing company and tell them to screw off.

Thanks
