Default Oil leak assistance.

Hello !

I took my Facelift (1999b) A8 2.8 3.0V to a DIY workshop to do a oilchange the other day and when removing the cowl beneath the engine I noticed I had some drips of oil hanging on the right side of the engine block, (seen from the drivers seat)

I could not see where it came from, but I wiped it off best I could and I´m going to take another look in a week and see how bad it is. Are there any usual suspect around that area ? Looked like it was directly below the CV.

Also.. when the previous owner replaced the filter ( or workshop).. they must have forgotten to oil the lip on the oilfilter.. cause I broke two filter removers and had to hack an saw the rest of the filter off... *yay*
