I don't know for sure, but I'd imagine that if the head gasket
failed to the point where it was leaking oil, the engine would be
running poorly, if at all. Is there a valve cover in that part
of the engine, and if so, is *that* where the leak is coming
from? It would cost a lot less to fix that.

Hi,
An additional problem with my A6 is a very bad oil leak which seems to
come from "top rear". The oil drips over the exhaust and causes an
embarrassing smell.
I asked the dealer to identify the problem. Their diagnosis was a bad
Head-gasket. Their estimate (incl. timing belt and water pump):
$2500. I bought the car a couple of years ago for $2300.

Does anybody care to comment. The car runs great, is it really the
head gasket?
What about doing such repair at home.

Thanks,

Andre
