What are the most common oil leak sources in an Audi 80?

I've noticed some spots of oil under my Audi 80 and I'm wondering what the most likely causes could be. I want to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem.

The most common oil leak sources in an Audi 80 are the valve cover gasket, camshaft seal, oil pan gasket, and oil filter housing gasket. Regularly checking and replacing these parts can help prevent leaks and prolong the life of your vehicle.

It's important to identify the location of the oil leak before trying to fix it. Sometimes it can be as simple as tightening a loose bolt, other times it may require a more in-depth inspection and repair. My advice is to bring it to a trusted mechanic to properly diagnose and address the issue.

In my experience, an oil leak can also be caused by a worn out oil pan drain plug or oil drain plug gasket. These are easy and inexpensive to replace, so it's worth checking if those are the sources of your leak.
