I suspect it is a core plug leaking get it replaced asap.
Do not let the 300tdi overheat as it will **** the head.

I did a few core plugs on vw engines and they mainly need patience and a large screwdriver

Your not supposed to post hear but never mind......core plug is pretty easy to replace.
The easiest way to remove one is to drill a small hole through its centre (very sharp drill so all the swarf comes out) and using a small bar or screwdriver in the hole lever to one side.....as the centre of the plug bends it will come loose.

Putting a new one in use a socket that fits inside the rim of the plug nicely and tap it in, keeping it nice and square as it goes in. Dont tap it in too far, just so the rim is level with the block.
