Default Bad Oil Leak 99 2.8 Help!!!
I have a 99 A6 2.8. I have oil pouring out the front of my engine. I was hoping it was the oilpan gasket as it has been very slowly seeping a little for awhile now. I have not had time to really check into it. It is coming from the front of the motor above the oil pan right in the middle. I am thinking it could be the crankshaft seal or upper pan gasket. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you going that far into the repair might consider a "Full" T-Belt service
also.

Good luck man. Same happened to me at 130k. I had the timing belt, waterpump, thermostat done when my mech was in there doing the seal.
