Mr. Patterson mission accomplished. Changed the filter as you indicated. I run the car for few minutes without leaks. I will wait until tomorrow to check again. That video you posted is awesome, just the same engine. I used Ravenol 5W-40 fullsynth oil for Audi. Could I used semi-synthetic next time, or mobil like the one shown in the video? Also, my steering fluid is low, could I any brand steering fluid, or does it need to be a specific brand? Thanks a lot!

Super. That oil is fine. I just use Mobile 1 0/40 in my gasoline engine Audi's. Never a problem. I wouldn't use blended or non synthetic for our long 10000 mile service intervals. Your power steering uses synthetic fluid. Pentosin https://www.ecstuning.com/b-pentosin...-liter/chf202/

Preferably CHF 202

Mr. Patterson, thanks for the info. I will use that Mobile 1 0W-40 Full Synth next time. It is less expensive. I will look for the steering fluid you recommended. I really appreaciate it.
