so they told you that your engine oil is leaking out your front shocks :grin: :grin: that dealer is good

we really shouldn't...but how could we not :grin:

I have a 2006 MK5, it uses oil but not that fast, I have to top 2000 miles or so. Thats about 3218km. :nerd:
Wait, my front shock is leaking as well :o (Sorry I had to) :whistle:
I would get some one to have a look at that, or perhaps look for loose hose underneath the plastic engine top cover.
Can you see any oil spray, inside the engine bay, or on top of the lower engine skirt.
What about the sump, is it wet near the drain plug, or the gearbox to engine joint.
Take photographs and post. or if your realy not sure, take it to a mechanic.
hope this helps :)
