Title: Oil Leak. (pic inside)
Post by: ColinMk4 on August 03, 2014, 09:23:17 pm

Hi guys, the gti was parked up for 2 weeks and i noticed small oil stain when I moved it. Why is it coming out of the below nut?

Gearbox sump drain plug.

Has the gearbox oil been changed recently or the car been in for a service?

Will probably need a new washer on the plug, or they havent fitted one, catch the oil if its fresh in a clean container fix the plug then refill it.

I would look higher up as it looks like there is more oil further up the box.
