Hello all,

I have an oil leak front the left hand side of the engine on my Leon 1.4. I thought it was the sump and re-sealed that a couple of weeks ago but it's still there and I can see oil above the sump flange around the timing chain case/crank snout oil seal.

Question is: can this be changed without removing the timing chain case or does the seal go in from the back?

I love driving this thing but the engineering seems distinctly fragile to me.

Thanks,
