Few months ago, I had noticed that there was oil leaking in my S4. It was really a major leak so I was surprised to see the amount of stains on the belly-pan, it looked like the leaking had been for a while.
I brought it to the dealorship. The dealorship said it's because of bad valve cover gasket and they replaced them all. Few weeks later after the gasket replacement, I still could see oil-leaking, so I brought my car to the same dealorship again. This time, they said the valve covers were also needed to be replaced and they replaced the valve covers, too. Fortunately, everything had been paid under warranty so far.

And about one month has passed since the valve cover replacement. But the leaking is still there. I could see a lot of oil stains on the rear belly pan and on the subframe, too.

Anyway, I'll bring my S4 to the same dealorship again after this weekend. But I really want to hear your experience on how to fix this issue and suggestions. Is it really hard to fix? Or should I treat it as a very minor issue and stay with it?
BTW, my warranty gets almost expired (about 1k mile left).

Many Thanks in advance.

That being said, since it's under warranty, I'd take it back to the dealer. Eventually, they might figure it out. Or maybe they will replace your engine piece by piece

You could start anew at a different dealership, but the same problem could arise. Your best bet is to be patient and keep trying.

Thanks for your comments. I'd better be more patient anyway.
