I think I may have found the culprit to my epic oil leak. Somthing has sheared behind the injector pump (see the photos). Not having owned one of these before I have no idea what! I have put a small stick it to the hole and its around 3inches deep.

So what was there and whats the best(or economical) solution?

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info. Just to be sure the place the part has sheared is into a raised knobble on the block. Also if it is for a bracket would it be leaking oil? I guess if some one drilled it out a little to exuberantly they could have drilled through the block.

Is there a short term fix you can think of as I dont have time to remove the injectors to fix properly.

Thanks again

Its not been fully drilled out as far as I can see. If I had the time I could strip it down drill it out and retap it.
For got to mention this is a late mark 1 1998 so has the tdi300 if it makes a difference. I've never used chemical metal, would it take the heat?

Thanks again
