2010 5EAT Legacy GT Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hey guys found this the other day. This is on the left side of the engine towards the rear. No drips or smell (I might have forgotten what oil smells like), it just looks wet. I should add that the dealer slightly overfilled the oil which is kinda what made me worried in the first place and triggered me to start looking for leaks. From looking at it, I think its coming from the component with the white marking that has all the oil next to it. Any idea what that is? Thanks guys! https://imgur.com/a/fBSMTdn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubaboo Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Looks like part of the cylinder head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2010 5EAT Legacy GT Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Anyone know if l this amount of leaking /seeping is normal?, it's got 110,000km on the clock, was thinking about tracking the car, think I should reconsider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moral hazard Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Its close to the oil scavenge pump on the head. Does look like oil, but it looks more like something built up over time. I wouldn't stress over that. You could give it a good clean and then start tracking how much is collecting. Keep an eye on oil levels if going on that track day.

Shadow_419 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The pcv valve is near the scavenger pump. In that area you have the pcv valve and the oil lines that feed turbo and avcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FearlessLegacyGT Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Agreed shouldn’t be bothered by it too much if it was me I would power wash it off and put some dye in the oil and check back in a few days after driving to see if anything shows up just to verify what it is.
