Default Oil pressure

Audi 80 1.8 injection 1998
Above 2000rpm both the oil light and alarm come on. Oil level is fine. Oil is seeping out of 3 spark plug holes. Any ideas?

Many thanks

Tighten the plugs?

Default Maybe not

Be careful if you tighten the plugs.. You could of striped the threads on the block and may need to tap them which is difficult. Besides, if you have oil leaking out of the plugs then your piston seals are either gone or just about to go.

Default you've got bad piston rings

that's causing all of your problems.
