I'd guess that the leak is likely from between the cooler and filter flange, which I believe uses an O-ring. The cooler on my Jetta TD came loose a while back (although not enough to leak), and I just tightened the nut during a filter change. It is a *large* nut, possibly 30mm. Try turning the oil cooler to see if it is loose.Shawn Wright http://zuiko.sls.bc.ca/~swright '85 Jetta TD '88 Westy 2.1L |
