my "new" '99 a6 w/35k on it needs a little work. oh yeah a little. 1. the headlight washer pump is bad. 2. the dash light cluster is bad. 3. the oil is leaking from: timing chain tensioner seals, valve cover gaskets and some shaft seal at the back of the motor!! holy **** at 35k??!! i would expect this at 75k, not 35k. oh well, i still love the car. thank god for x-warranty. is this a bit abnormal at this mileage?? could switching from convential oil(probably what the 1st owner used) to mobil 1 cause seal leakage? or "old man" driving to my aggressive tip driving be the culprit?? what gives?

Re: just venting... Oil leak has nothing to do with the oil you use.

My friend lost his cam tensioner at 30k miles on his '99.
