Unwanted oil sources in a diesel engine are most likely located in the following places:
  • The crankshaft sealing ring (oil seal) at the flywheel, oil is leaking into the space between the engine and the gearbox.
  • Front oil seal on crankshaft (on the right, looking in the direction of travel), on the camshaft or intermediate shaft. Oil appears in the area of the toothed belt cover.
  • Valve cover gaskets.
  • Oil filter holder, oil cooler and filter housing.
  • Cylinder head gasket.
  • Oil pan gasket.
  • Oil pressure sensor (subject to replacement)
  • The seal under the control lever on the high-pressure fuel pump may leak diesel fuel.

Localization of leaks



If your car has problems with oil leaks, it is recommended to first carry out a thorough engine wash.

(The original text can be found at: VWmanual.ru)

If there are significant leaks, you will be able to see the places where oil is leaking right after the first few kilometers of running.
