All the A6 comps leak from the shaft seal, new or reman. Even back in the day. The oil slinging onto a nicely detailed engine compartment is what guys really cant stand now days. People didn't care about that back then. That's a reason they had a wick installed to absorb some of that oil. But it needs to be changed when saturated or else the oil slinging will begin. Corvette guys love that oil on their fiberglass hoods, lol. There were even some shields that were used back then. A new a6 should have the wick installed but it should eventually start to sling oil after the wick gets saturated. The remans that ive seen haven't had the wick installed. The pro6ten does eliminate this issue. I have a shop and the guys ive sold those aluminum a6 replacements have all been pleased. and they are leass expensive than a new steel a6
