That’s kinda funny, I’m sorry I don’t know the answer to the conundrum, but i heard vws don’t leak oil. (Stereotype)
They dont but this one has some software tune . Idk whats wrong but i really like the car and would love to buy it knowing what the issue is
I would assume its the head gasket.
Check PCV
This 👆
Could you post a photo of the overall engine. I don’t know where that are box is located in relation to things like the valve cover gasket for PCV valve
Here it doesnt show the leak here .
This is where the leak is.
Hmm well id recomend a new PCV. Looks like its not working right and letting oil get that far up the tube then it looks like its not sealed around the air box like its supposed to.
Then that looks like the tube is after the filter and with it being loose it is letting dirt and dust get sucked into the engine. Likely fine but it should be sealed up to prevent engine damage from dust contamination
It leaks cause it’s a vws
Being the intake, it is probably engine blow-by. The engine has a vent on top of the cam cover to release pressure and oil. This goes back into the intake where it goes into the cylinders to get burnt up with the exhaust gases. Oil blow-by could be from a number of issues like running hot, too much compression, not being tuned properly, or just too much engine oil.
