Car Sputtering, Oil on end of coils... sigh
 

Just back in Florida finally!

Problem with car of course... Wondering what it could possibly be. Thought it might be coils but seems like something more serious as I tried two other coils and nothing. I was driving and the car began to sputter, then check engine light blinking which led me to believe it was the coils. I pulled a coil out and it had damp oil around it. Also just under the cover by the Radiator Fluid resovoir there was oil on a pair of hoses there. Any idea what the hell happened? :( Or what it could be?

"Looking" at one CP does not a final decision make. Replace 'em all, but only after a VAG scan

I replaced 3 of the coils, but doesn't explain the oil on the end of them
 

And the oil that is laying on the hose right by the radiator resovoir. This is my main concern, the hose that is right there has oil coming out. Wondering if that is the cause.

There is an oil feed line near there that runs to the turbo.
 

I believe it's the one that is a hard line for a while and then converts to a rubber line to go to the turbo. If that's leaking then I would get it fixed ASAP.

Hmmm, or is that a coolant line. Now I can't remember.....

I think coolant.

You're right, the oil feed comes around from the front near the oil filter.

Ponders, I will try to get a photo. This stuff is beyond me im just car stupid
 

Last time it happened I just replaced coils, but didnt have the oil issue both on the coils and on these lines. I think you may be right about the coolant, because there looks to be an oxidized looking coating on top of the hose, and its kind of pink. But also oil

coolant will have some oil-like qualities. This could be the cause of the mis-fires.

Oil in the Coil Pak tunnels would indicate a leaking Valve cover gasket..
