SimonU 0 Posted April 18, 2004 I've found where it's coming from but not sure whether I should drive it to get it sorted, I found it yesterday as I started to wash the car. Its leaking from the top of the oil cooler, I did notice oil on drive a week ago when it came back from VW but I thought it was housemates mk3 GTi as we found a small leak on that. Could it be down to incorrect fitment of new oil filter??? or just one of those things?? Is it easier enough to sort?

Henny 0 Posted April 18, 2004 there's a rubber O-ring between the top of the oil cooler and the filter head (bit wot attaches to the block! ;) ) These are known to fail occasionally and will cause a leak in the place you describe... your best bet is to buy both a new cooler and O-Ring (about £20 all in) and fit the new cooler while you've got the old one off... at least that way you KNOW that the cooler's gonna be good for a few years and won't cause any damage by popping... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
