Ok, me and this Q7 were clearly never meant to be...

Got a leak from the big end...

Anyone know if it's an engine out job, or hours needed?

What exactly is the problem?
There phrase "big end leak" is not meaningful as the big end isn't something that can leak.
The big end is the bottom of each piston rod that connects to the crankshaft.
Do you mean a crankshaft seal leak or a big end seized/bearing problem?
Also which engine?

Leak will be from the upper engine area running down the shortmotor not the rear main seal as in most cases with this engine
