As the title says. It's dripping down onto a hose of some kind (heater hose?) and my PS rack. Seems to only leak when the car's been sitting for a while after being driven. Any ideas?

hard to say with out a picture but the distributor has an O ring seal that can leak oil out.
Was thinking the dizzy O ring or the 2 seals behind the tbelt cover, those seem to be very common spots for both the A1 and A3 to leak oil from.Quote:

Alright, I'll keep that in mind as well.Quote:

Check the oil pressure switch.
Pcv is also through the rear, specialty hose with two different IDs
Thanks for the tips, ever since I had a new pan/pan gasket put on the car the leak has become really tiny. It was a lot worse before then. BTW is synth blend oil bad for these cars? Paranoid that it's going to gum my motor up or make it leak even more oil.
