I have a 1999 2.8 Quattro that's smoking.
My wife has been complaining about a burning smell, so during a transmission filter change I let the car idle and found smoke coming from the left (driver's) side manifold. I know that it is oil from somewhere, but I couldn't tell from where. I noticed that the power steering fluid was a little low, but couldn't tell if it is from it or the valve cover gasket leaking. I do not know if this is a common problem with the 2.8 V6, but thought someone out there might be able to guide me in the proper direction.
Appreciate any and all help.
