Recently had all 4 injectors replaced for free by a vw dealer. Well about 5000 miles ago. However this morning been out to car pulled off drive and noticed a oil patch about 6 inch in diameter. Popped the bonnet and there seems to be oil all down the back of the engine anybody any ideas what could be the cause??. Car itself is running sweet as just this leak.

As the cam cover has recently been off, that would be the first place to look.

Yeah had a quick look at this and it does look like the cam cover gasket. Been and bought one today. You don't happen to know if these are torqued up do you when refitting?? Is so to what level?

10 Nm. start in middle and work out when tightening.
