Hmmm. OK.

I already have a major issue with the Audi! There was crazy amounts of oil
under the car the other day.

Took it in... they are not accepting responsibility that it is related the
to $6400 service the previous owner did November 11th even though it is
coming from essentially the same area of the engine. I have also noticed
that the rear air suspension has a air leak... yikes!!

I already spoke to the old owner about buying it back...

Insert your comments here:

What type of service cost over $6000? Sounds like the car had a major problem.

$6000 was for new timing belt, cam adjuster seals, valve cover seals, water pump, front air suspension, abs circuit, oil change.

Currently they are claiming the cam seal has let go due to the cold and not related to the previous worked.

That's a great design then, I guess Germany is a tropical country and it is really unusual for the cars to experience cold. This is the typical response you get from Audi, it is not the dealer, but Audi that tells them this.
