If it's the same as on older VWs it sounds like the hole where you check the timing marks.

With the engine running, can you see the flywheel spinning?

thanks for your knowledge

Nah no oil in there, it just goes into the bell housing.

you'd be surprised how many vw owners have put oil in there!

As said, if its the same as this hole don't worry about it.
