So i had a leak fixed under warranty(<2 months) when i first bought it from the timing chain cover area. Supposedly fixed at no cost to me. I had the car up on the rap today to check everything was still dry and boom, lovely fresh oil patch on the cover, drivers side and lots of oily residue, on the bottom bits of the engine. Im at my wits end with this garage now and the competency on fixing a leak.

Also there was a bit of oily residue coming from the front of the oil sump. not sure if that was off recently during the last repair etc.

Has anyone had any oil leak experience in their a7 ownership period? For a car that has a pretty comprehensive service history this is pretty bad.( I didn't buy from Audi unfortunately but am since regretting it. All repair so far has been good gesture repair from the garage i bought, since it was "missed" as part of the pre-sale service. It did come with a 12 month 3rd party Mapfre warranty but i haven't used that i heard they will do everything they can not to pay out Any pointers would be appreciated.
