IC hoses and look for excessive oil buildup, you can remove your BPV's also and see what doing there ... Maybe you are running rich, are you sure it's oil ?

Any white smoke ? Maybe you are smelling an exhaust leak, or you have a common S4 oil leak.

not yet, but are the first signs of failer?

You sure you're not confusing carbon on the exhaust tips for oil?

up the ying yang. Are you experiencing any unusual turbo noises, siren sounds etc. Search the forum, there are many threads regarding failure, siren sounds etc. You may have an oil leak somewhere, could be an oil line leading to one of the turbos, or elsewhere .. The dealer may not want to deal with it, you may have to find the problem yourself and then show them.

the dealer is no help. i need info so when i do take it back to the dealer i have some info that will make them look a little closer at my concerns.

your rear view mirror would be useless and the first cop to see you would pull you over.

maybe someone with some general knowledge can look things over a bit.

I think it's possible to have a bad seal on the turbine side that would leak oil into the Cat

But for any reason burning oil is not a good sign and it needs immediate attention.

And was the oil level overfilled at any point in time?
