Is that the one on the back, gearbox end of the cylinder head that's leaking?

No its on top of the oil filter housing, the front one with the white top and yellow wire wire going to it!

That's the 1.8 bar switch according to the Haynes manual. A VW dealer is your best bet, they can usually get them within a couple of days. You can get them from GSF or Eurocarparts but I've heard they don't last so long.

Are you sure it's the switch, could just be a missing washer?
