Hi All,
At recent dealer service for my Mk 3.5 Leon 1.4tsi ACT @ 75000 they commented that there was a gearbox oil leak, and commented they suspected it was 'leaking flywheel bolts'.
I did not action it for the £1100 they were asking at that time and chose to investigate it a bit first as I had to do some brake work, anyway.
Looking underneath there is what I would call a 'smear' of oil between the gearbox and engine. (N.B. ignore the bigger patch in the background which was me making a mess of the brake fluid). Picture below.
My plan is to monitor and see, and hope that it can limp through to needing a new clutch (albeit that could be in a while).
Has anyone any experience or comments about this? I did have a quick look online and saw that a revised flywheel bolt part number is now sold, so presume that this is relatively common...
Any help appreciated.
