Hi all,

 

I've had a small oil leak (or rather, seepage) on my 07 vrs for a while now. Being pretty insignificant I ignored it, but I think now it's time to take action.

 

Can anyone tell me if this is a known problem and maybe where the leak could stem from exactly? I looked briefly in ETKA and couldn't identify any gasket or some such that I could easily replace. 

 

Here's the place: http://tinypic.com/r/15dnadt/8

 

From etka I see there's a vaccum pump somewhere in that area, however I couldn't identify the trapezoidal (or whatever) thing which can be seen in the picture and which is damp at the bottom.

 

Thanks!

Solved: the top of the thing seen in the picture can be taken off, there are 5 hex screws. It is actually a thin metal plate having an o-ring underneath. Applied silicone under the o-ring, put it back, screwed the plate on top and voila, no m0ar leak. I guess the plate had somehow deformed because the impression by the o-ring was clear on the top of the plate (on the inside) but not so much on the bottom, hence the leak.
