My 2.0 8v engine and the one I'm building to replace it both leaked oil from where the breather pipe goes into the front of the block, the back of the rocker cover and from the cam oil seal, if your lights are poor check to see if you have full voltage getting to the bulb, if you have high resistance to them your voltage will drop and your lights won't be as bright as they should be.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:
