welcome to the mk3 8v club then  :smiley:

where is the oil at?? can you not see where it's coming from? generally it shouldn't leak... a bit like people shouldn't bleed... although this is a different case for half the population.  :grin:

Try checking the oil pressure switch! That is a fairly common place for oil leaks I think!
