    Take it back to the dealer. Was this a oil low warning or an low oil pressure waring. Your title is OIL LEAK PROBLEM. but is there an oil leak. Regards Peter

    This may be a failing oil level sensor in the sump or it's connector. Take it back and have a diagnostic check done and the fault recorded so if it comes back you can claim the repair against the dealer. Regards Peter

    Yes. It would appear that the sump is over pressurising and fooling the oil level sensor. Go there tomorrow. Regards Peter

    Almost any engine can be repaired. But it really isn't your problem, the dealer needs to sort this out.

    today I went to check diagnose for the Audi,...They said that is normal to smoke and oil to coming out form the oil hole in engine when i open the oil lid....and they said that is maybe something wrong with the sensor.....and oil level is OK, and its "max"...And they found an "fail kode on mediaplayer" when they conected the car to computer....

    after that control i went to official Audi service....and an audi expert mechanic....checked oil lid....and said that is normal everything..and it depends on some types of the cars..it doesnt smoke and oil comeing out..but for Audi A6 is normal....and he also checked oil level...he said I am missing 0.5L oil in engine......???????????? and he said also that warning sign goes off when you open the hood....:S:S:S

    Audi has a bad oil level check stick...its black coulored and it is hard to know what is the oil level.....

    But still dont know who is wright here...the company who tested the car...or the expert audi mekanik....

    should I fill the engine with 0.5L oil?????? and after a whille i check the level again?????
