How hard are these to change?
Noticed whilst doing my oil the dipstick housing had a load of oil round the bottom, looked like it was dripping lightly from there too.
Tried pushing it down, couldn't do it in the end, even with pliers.
May pop into the vag specialist by work tomorrow.

Just another question, my oil leak is getting pretty bad now, Looks like its definatley coming from round the dipstick area... How do these detach from the sump?
Dose anyone have a technical diagram of it?
Cheers!

Just have to yank it off. Make sure you don't break the plastic away so that you can't get to it... And try not to drop anything in!
