Hi! I have noticed my 06 5 has a slow oil leak at the rear of the engine. From what I can tell, its coming from the rear of the engine, around the middle (where the engine and bell housing mate). Ive done a bit of research and I can definitely rule out the timing cover and the oil cooler. Are there any sensors or gaskets in the rear that could fail? If it was a different time of year, Id lift it up and check. I just would love a bit of advance knowledge before I suffer oily frostbite!
