    hi, I have a black oil leak coming from my 2.5tdi. the bottom of the alternator seems to be the wettest part but the top of the alternator is dry ! after doing a bit of reading it seams it could be coming from a cam shaft seal ? can anyone offer any pointers for help ? a couple of weeks ago I cleaned the area up and ran the car for 30 mins but could not see any leaks but yesterday it started dripping onto the floor again, so I have cleaned the area again and stuck some oil absorbent pads onto the undertray until I can fix the leak.
