Hello all
I have recently caught the vw bug and brought my self a 1995 golf VR6, What a great little car they are.

I brought it from a car yard up hear in Newcastle NSW with the only problem being a dead battery, or so I was told

There seems to be a little oil leak at the top of the engine (I think its oil), I have pics below.




I’m just wondering if this is in fact oil and is it leaking?....
What is this part and what is its function ?....
Is it expensive to fix, if indeed it needs fixing ?....
Can it be fixed by someone with reasonable around the tools (me )....

I noticed tonight that the pipe that the hose clamp is holding in position was a little loose so I tightened the clamp but im worried it could break something if its to tight or come flying off if its not tight enough.



If anyone could shed any info on this it would be greatly appreciated, Or if you could recommend any good mechanics up hear (Newcastle) that I could go to. If need be I can always go to the local VW dealership and ask.

Thank you for reading my post, I look forward to some reply’s

Ben
