evening fellas, have a 08 s4 and got home tonite and saw a small patch of oil drivers side from last nite. looked under car and in front of drive shaft i can see a casing with torx bolts and it has oil on bolts. any idea what this is and is it going to be a bitch to fix?
thanx in advance Rich

Rich, have you recently had an oil change? Twice now I've had oil on my garage floor becasue the drain plug wasnt sealed properly after a service. The oil that leaked out covered a lot of stuff in the vacinity. Might not be applicable but thought I'd mention it since its an easy fix....
