While working on the RS6 yesterday, I noticed I fairly significant amount of oil and grim accumulation on the passenger-side turbo delivery hose and block/tranny. Left side was nice and clean. Also, notably was that banks' intercooler had significantly more oil accumulation than the driver-side too.

I originally attributed the oil and grime on this side due to the oil filter. Not discounting it at this point, I know I didn't wrench it on since it was a PITA from the last owner/mech who did.

Thoughts, besides some oil filter seal seepage?
