Oil cooler seal

[Tony5496]

Hi I was wondering if someone could give me some advice on the oil cooler seal on 1.8T can they leak and can they be changed and is it a very big job to do. As when going in the garage in the morning I noticed a tiny little bit of oil on the floor about 4 inches in diameter I think it may be the seal any advice would be much appreciated many thanks.

It's not hard to change at all, take the oil filter off and it's 1 nut on the same thread the oil filter screws onto, you may have enough wiggle room to change the seal without removing coolant pipes. Easy to access from above if you remove the coolant reservoir.
