99 1.8T, 96K miles. I'm seeing a fair amount of engine oil leaking down around the right back side of the engine. It's all over the tranny (tiptronic) cooling fins, and is getting blown back on the underbelly of the car for a few feet.
My first guess was valve cover or cam seals. I degreased the top end, and haven't seen much wetness there for a few days now.
My next guess was the rear main crank seal. I got under there with a light and tried to peek into the bell housing. Nothing inside looks wet - just the outside.
My current guess is the oil pan gasket, since the pan is pretty wet on the right side. Of course the pan will probably be wet no matter what's leaking, since it's down at the bottom...
