Can anyone please try and advise me.
I have noticed an oil leak in the front left hand area of my passat TDi 130 03 plate. It is basically just under the front bumper (left side).
Is this from the turbo and how bad could it be.....
the car has only done 78000 miles. :confused:

The turbo is on the RHS of the engine.The oil leak you have is most likely from the inlet pipe to the intercooler.They all leak there after a while.Most of the oil is in vapour form from the crankcase breather and vacuum pump.
Best,
