Audi A4, Major oil leak!

[LA Artois]

Hi guys, any ideas...

I've an '98 A4 Audi 1.8 petrol, that's decided to dump all it's oil.
It appears to be below the Head Gasket and only over the right side of the engine bay as you look at it.
There's no sign of water contamination.

Thanks in advance for any help...

Possibly camshaft oil seal failure. Is the oil trailing out from behind the timing belt cover?

Found the fault, thankfully a check repair.
Appears to be the plastic down pipe for the dipstick is cracked, an the oil's just being pumped out of the sump.
Cheers for the reply
