That’s great thanks, Dealers are trying to get me some good will on it as its only 40k and had five dealer services, approved used warranty only ran out in March also, Fingers crossed they will come good for me

I replaced mine when it started leaking. It happened just after a timing belt change by Skoda..

 

Part number 04L103151.

 

Part was £80 plus £80 for two hours labour.

Interesting.

I've just had mine serviced at a Skoda dealer. Told me I've got a leak around the front of the engine, suspected crank seal.

The car just had the cambelt and water pump changed by the same dealer six weeks ago and no mention of an oil leak then 🙄
