hi there can u help i have had my car looked at i had a oil leak its all bin washed to find it they found it is a oil seal at the back and the only way to do this they sad is to take the gear box all out and its going to be Ã,£300 i told them not to do it has any one had this befor and is it ok just to leave it its not a lot at mo but will it get bad thanks
Depends entirely on how much of an oil leak and where its coming from... never heard of one needing the gearbox out though! Where abouts roughly are we talking?
they said its behide the gear box and said its only weeping a bit at mo lot of money to get done the cost of the seal is nothink they said just time thanks
Hummm there is nothing "behind" the gearbox as its transverse mount - in fact there is nothing I can think of that would require the box to be removed as the sump is removable with it in situ... get a second opinion from another garage!
Without seeing it, it's very tricky to comment but I would speculate that it's coming from the EGR system and dripping down which is fairly common.
hi they had to car up on the ramp all day they hat to clean it all down just to find it they did tsay i can go have a look i wish i did now they said it was behide the gear box and u only just see it from under the car looking up u see it weeping but they said it was not much at all i just had them do rocker box gastet thats y i take it back to them and they hat to find it so they can say it was not that thanks i wish i had of looked now

When I had injector wiring replaced my rocker cover started to leak badly at rear right corner despite of the new rocker cover seal. They replaced seal again and still was leaking, they tried to use a bit of gasket sealant around seal and still was leaking. At the end I had to buy new rocker cover from VW for over 130quid just to sort it out (there is new design of the cover because of this issue).
