thx for all the help guys, i took the car to a independant vdub garage and the guy was real nice but was totally snowed under with work so could only give me a few minutes of his time. As it turns out i have two leaks one is coming from the oil light sensor or something and i need a new one of them. The other (the big one) is coming from the left side of the engine somewhere and could be anything but most likely to be some sort of seal according to the guy. I asked him if it was anything for me to sh!t myself about and he said no it was ok but that i should get it washed off and find out exactly where it was coming form for sure but to watch that i don't wet the electrics. Sounds like a nightmare to me but when i get some time i'm gonna try and get it washe doff. You say jizer is the best stuff? Hmmm car is MK2 GTI 16v
regards
Mark
