Hi,
I have a 2.0 FSI GT which continues to suffer from an engine oil leak. I've just had the entire oil filter housing changed, as the leak was initially thought to come from there. It only come as a complete assembly from VW @£80.00 !, - not just the oil filter housing, that you remove to replace the filter. The whole thing is plastic, which frankly I think is crap. As the oil leak is still there it now looks like the sump flange is leaking. There is no gasket fitted, only sealant which is applied in the factory (modern engine production tolerances are supposedly so good that you don't need gaskets) Are oil leaks common from the sump/oil filter area on MK5 GTI's/GT's- or I am I just unlucky ?
