Oil leak side of the engine battery side
« on: September 30, 2013, 09:42:28 pm »
Alright guys after removing my air box i have noticed i have a leak from the right hand side of the engine. between the engine and the battery. The top of the gearbox is covered in oil also. Could this be a cam cover gasket? I was going to De grease the engine and then see if i can see a obvious leak. Just wanted to see if anyone had same problem.

Regards

Brad

The oil is over the top of the gearbox. around the where the springs are in the picture and half way up the cover part

I had to sign up after reading this thread!

Only just purchased an 06 mk5 gti DSG in Tornado Red and have noticed a little dribble of oil in exactly the same place as OP.

Not very familiar with the 2.0 TFSI. Is anyone able to kindly shed any light on this? :notworthy: Hoping I haven't bought myself a lemon... :sad1:

First post so please go easy on me.
Many thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same problem. Engine leaks oil at the exact place from somewhere. Struggling to find out from where. I have a 06 gti DSG. Please let us know if you find where it comes from.

If the PCV valve has been changed and the old gasket used (new gasket/seal is £20.14) it can result in oil in that area!

Cheers dude but running a pcv delete and the area round thats dry.

im reasonably confident its the vac pump but im not sure whether others have sorted the same leak by doing just the o ring, or needing to do the whole pump  :scared:

thanks for the suggestion tho!
