   Hi i have an oil leak on my MK1 VTS which drips from the oil filter when running but its definatly not the oil filter thats leaking.

   The picture above shows the pipe where i think the oil is coming from.
   
   Any help on how to sort this out would be appreciated.
   
   Thanks

   Them pipes that are just below where its coming from is where the oil runs down and ends up dripping from below the oil filter.

   I had this on mine and thought it was leaking at the base of the pipe but every time I opened the bonnet after running the car it seemed the oil that was around the hose (that you have pointed out) was always fresh oil so I used some instant gasket and closed that opening and seems to have held at the moment
   Hope that helps
