Oil Leak in 01' Passat   Printable Version Volkswagen Forum >> GENERAL Volkswagen Forums >> General Tech >> Oil Leak in 01' Passat Page: [1] Login Message << Older Topic   Newer Topic >> Oil Leak in 01' Passat - 3/5/2006 2:17:44 PM    bbliatkceh   Posts: 1 Joined: 3/5/2006 Status: offline I've just purchased a 2001 Passat GLS 1.8T (not a 2001.5). It has 79,000 miles on it. Recently I noticed it is leaking oil. Not just in one place though it's about 7 small puddles where the car was parked. The day before I had the oil changed, and when I checked the oil after noticing it leaking it read about an 1/8" too much on the dipstick. Has anybody else had problems with there Passat? Could it be that there is too much oil in the engine? Any help is greatly appreciated.

It turned out to be the cam shaft seals were leaking. erh (in reply to bbliatkceh) Post #: 2 Login OR Register now to post a reply to this forum topic.
