Hey guys, had the head gasket done on my 106 over the weekend and it has an oil leak. I noticed a small puddle under the airbox side of the engine bay. I took out my air filter and it was soaked in oil, there was oil down inside the airbox aswell.

Anyone any ideas?

 

rocker cover gasket possibly?
is the breather pipe covered in oil and what is the oil level like?

 

There doesn't seem to be any oil coming from the rocker cover, the breather pipe is dry and the oil level seems to be dropping pretty quickly.

 

i'm not overly familiar with gti's.
is the oil filter on nice and tight?
is there any oil pipes for oil coolers or owt?
is it down on power or smoking etc?

 

Oil filters tight tight mate. I thought it was maybe the crankcase ventilation but isn't that only for fumes? The powers still there and no smoke whatsoever.

 

crankcase breather can spit oil out if something is causing too much crankcase pressure and oil is 'sloshing' in the sump pan.
