Default audi A7 2015 oil leak

Hi there,

I am not an expert obviously, this is why Im hoping for a technical advise......my lovely A7 TDI 3l. looses oil as I found proper oil spot underneath of my car (last time I topped it up was 2-3 weeks ago and drove just about1000 miles). Ive checked the computer and oil level indicates bellow half..? ( impssible)

Thank you very much indeed for your suggestions and recommendations

You are obviously having an oil leak somewhere. Put some paper under the car, leave it say overnight and check where the oil is dripping down. Once you have an idea, look at the path of the oil (best to do this with the car on a hoist) and that should tell you what is causing the leak.

Most smaller repair shops will raise the car up to look and give you a quick idea/estimate for free.

the thing is the car has been already to a garage for the same reason as I stated missing oil 2-3 weeks ago....which really annoys me

I will go fetch them today and see what the reason is

This happened to me initially, I took it to the dealer and he said that during previous oil change they put the wrong filter when they serviced it. Got the right filter and there's no leak anymore...
Just a case of mine and a thought for you...
