MK5 oil leak

[eican123]

Got an oil leak on my MK5 2.0L FSI.
It appears to be seeping from the engine block just behind the oil filter. I'm guessing from what little I can see, that its leaking from the gasket between the engine block and the component that the oil filter housing screws into.
Anyone "been there, done that" ?

Yes seen it a few times. Not a nice job, sure you need to remove manifold to get access. And sometimes the hosing cracks so best to replace the whole thing.

As per above.

Also factor in a broken dipstick tube, and PCV pipes.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm inclined to leave the fix to the experts but I don't have confidence in dealerships so I need an independent mechanic.
Can anyone recommend one in the southern suburbs of Sydney? My search has come up with Bob Mol Motors at Caringbah. Anyone know of them?
