I have a 2018 2.0T AWD with 50,000Mi. and am getting some light oil leaking somewhere above the oil filter area. While it is hard to isolate where the source is ,
at first glance it appears to be sepage from between the bottom of block and oil pan . While I didnt use a torque wrench many of the oil pan bolts seemed loose , so I gave each
a bit of a crank . I am currently monitoring results , but was curious if anybody else might have experienced something like this and may know the source ?
I wouldn't even notice the loss of oil if it didnt drop onto the exhaust , and come into the cabin via the ventilation fan, while at a stop light
There are some oil supply lines that run down to the Oil Filter area , but I dont think they are the culprit ...
Appreciate any insights others may have .
Other than Sunroof / Sunscreen motor failure , has been bulletproof .
