   Basically just a question about my gti I've just brought as a donor car.
   It's leaking Oil from the cam carriers/cover, do these use gaskets or is it just that sealant rubbish?? Thanks

   Guessed that may be the case! U know what's best to use? Looks like someone's done a oil change then poored it all over the engine and box!

   Yeah the stuff above, although I used to use Hylomar blue before when sealing up other engines
