Hi folks, new here and have seen similar issues but I thinkmine is a little different
Basically, started seeing rainbow pools around my car afterwet weather. On investigation at the garage they said the vacuum pump isleaking oil.
On researching it seems that it could be oil from the camshaft drive on the tandem pump or potentially diesel. I think it could be dieselas my mpg has dropped a bit since before xmas (when I saw the leak also) from48 to 42 (I know cold weather also contributes, but by this much?)
So first I really want to confirm it is the tandem pump(pics above). If it is, do I need a whole new unit or just the gasket?
Any help and comments be great, as allot of you are more ofaywith these beasts than me. Cheers
FYI itâs a saloon 2002 1.9 TDI 130 bhp.
