    Is my R36 leaking oil around Engine/DSG

    As per the title - I found some staining around the right hand side back of the block roughly where the engine connects to the DSG transmission. Car has done 178,000km.

    The DSG transmission was replaced within the last 5 years with a brand new unit.

    I'm no mechanic but it looks like something has either dripped onto the metal staining it or oil is leaking out?

    I had to stick my hand with my phone down the back of the engine to get these pictures...

    Kinda hard to tell but it looks like your timing chain cover might be weeping a little. Gotta pull the trans to fix it or just ignore it until it starts marking it's territory on your driveway. Honestly I wouldn't worry about it.
