Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've had a good amount of oil leaking on the garage floor. Have an 01 C4 with 43,000 miles. Independent shop put it up on the lift and diagnosed it as RMS leak. Have appointment tomorrow at dealership. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike

If the fixture for the seal fits in the housing then you get a new seal. If it does not fit you get a new motor. <img src="http://www.986host.com/albums/ToolPants/seal_fixture_tool_001.sized.jpg" alt=" - " /> <img src="http://www.986host.com/albums/ToolPants/seal_tools.sized.jpg" alt=" - " />

My oil leak comes from the O-ring of a spark plug.
