Looking for some input
Hey everyone...I did a search on this topic, but wasnt able to find too much...
I have a 03 A4 1.8T and Im under warranty still and when I was doing an oil change this past weekend I noticed a sizeable amount of oil on the under skid panel and upon further inspection it seemed to be coming out of the turbo outlet pipe on the right front passenger side. Talking to my dad, he thinks the seal on the turbo is going, bringing it Wednesday to get it taken care of, but just wanted to see if anyone has experienced it for my own knowledge...TIA

Yeah Im at 43,200 and have been taking it in every 10k
So as long as its taken care of, I'll be happy....Even happier if I get a new turbo out of it 
Although my initial feeling is they may just change out a gasket depending on the severity.
Its definetly a slow leak, nothing too substantial, but enough to leave a good residue on the drip pan underneath.
Im also wondering if it has something to do with the crazy erratic temperature changes we've been having in Boston this winter. Maybe something just expanded and moved around wrong....
