Tiny12 0 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 i think i may have the same problem....from the sensors on the top of the oil filter housing...i thought it was the nut on the sensors which was loose but they are both tight as poss. Link to post Share on other sites

legvw 0 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Its probably the oil filter housing to block seal then, a funny shaped o-ring, pennies from vw Link to post Share on other sites
davee 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 right just realized its not an oil leak turns out theres a leak from the thermostat housing the coolant was running down on to the old sticky oil under it so when you looked under it looked like oil teres 2 parts to the housing witch one useully gives trouble or im i better off replacing the 2 parts thanks Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 usual place is between the block and the housing as the seal fails. However any piece is likely to crack and therefore leak.usually best to replace it all. there are some cheap kits on ebay. Link to post Share on other sites
