Hello group I have been having this leak going on for about a week or 2 now. It appears as if it's leaving from above the oil pan in the front if your under the truck. Can anyone who has had a leak in this area give some ideas or common places to look

We just had to have ours towed, leak in a return pipe or something similar underneath the supercharger and its being replaced. It caused a belt to slip and lost steering. A lot of labor to repair this it seems. We have an 11 Q7 s line w/about the same miles. It may be something altogether different than your issue though.

Mine had a leak on the water pump in the front of the engine. Replacing the pump took 1/2 hour max. + filling and bleeding the system.
I think it's quite common with leaking waterpump on Q7.

I have a leak in what appears to be the hose next to the tensioner pulley. Anyone experienced this?

Last year thread, just replying for those experiencing:

Since both the Oil Cooler and alternator are liquid cooled and have O-ring seals, these would be suspect. Both are near the tensioner pulley. Gotta love the engineering!
