oil leak from under timing cover

[ross k 10]

guys i really need some advice ive changed my engine for an abf and it seems to be problem after problem. i cant drive the car as it has a serious oil leak coming from the airbox end of the engine. I thought it was the sump but have changed that and its still bad i think its coming from under the timing cover what are the likely culprits? please help

just took the timing cover of and its definatlly from the crankshaft or the oil pump pulley whats is the name of the oil pump pulley as i cant find any gaskets does anyone have any tips on this job thanks ross

Is it the auxiliary pulley? Not sure if the oil pump is shaft driven on the 20vt, but it's essentially driven by that if it is.

its drives the oil pump and i have an abf not a 20vt cant find the gaskets for the job anywhere thanks for the help mate

Doh, same thing though. Have a look on vagcat, sign up for free and you can see the blown up diagram of the engine. It lists part numbers too so a phone call to Vw should herald a result.

thanks Sean vagcat came up with what i wanted parts arrived and turns out the intermediate shaft bearing is knackered which from what i gather means the engine needs to come out im absolutely gutted !!
