oil overfill + leaking oil... correlated?
Recently my Audi dealer (with highly qualified certified technicians) changed my oil and overfilled by about 3/4" on the dip stick. (normally i change my own oil, but was lazy this time.)
I took it back a couple weeks later and them resolve this. Since that time, i've noticed a significant oil leak (a few drops per day). I can't tell exactly where it's coming from. And it is still leaking even though the oil level is now correct.
Question... could operating at elevated oil levels for a couple week cause a leak that persists? I'm suspicious.
Thanks in advance.
