Yep, that's what I was talking about. I knew somebody could come up with a picture, I really didn't want to put my car up on ramps and take off the skidplate and belly cover just to snap a picture. I looks like most (but not all) 2009s have this "cozy" installed.andylyco said:

It does kinda look that way doesn't it. I wonder what that bolt is (or is for). I don't know this engine well enough to know what it is.andylyco said:

Is the bolt where the line connects? 'Cause from the pics it's only draining from the bottom of the bolt, not from above dripping down onto.
I think Kitesurf is right- it looks like the turbo oil return line. It's probably the crush washer between the banjo connection and the block. I'll have the dealer check it out today, but I'm not concerned.Elfnmagik said:

FWIW, the dealer said that the oil pan cover is more sound insulation than anything.
The mechanic who worked on my car said that the oil seepage from the turbo oil return line (in the above picture) was just "sweating" and "normal for a diesel". (I'll let you make up your own mind about that.) Unless it drips, I'm not really concerned about it.

Since when does an engine "sweat"? I calling BOGUS on that one. Was the "mechanic" a tech at the dealership?

Give the mechanic a break. It is in a tough spot. You would not want to deal with that would you?MayorDJQ said:
Those were his EXACT words. I made sure to remember them because I knew you guys would get a chuckle. It was a tech at the dealer. He even said that he has had very little experience with the CR TDI, and diesels in general. When I spoke with him he was in the middle of replacing a gas tank on a W8 4 motion Passat Sedan, so you'd think he would have known better to tell ME that the oil line was just "sweating", but oh well.
Back on topic, I'll be under the Wagon at some point in coming days, so I'll take some better pictures of the oil pan cover, the nippled top of the belly pan, and anything else I deem interesting. :-D

andylyco,
I have the same the leak on mine....... Might be a common problem.
I figured it was a line to or from the turbo.....just didn't know which.

I'm gonna say the mechanic is probably at least somewhat right. Over 100K miles on my BRM and all kinds of "sweat" all over that thing. Believe me, I just went through a clutch and TB change all by myself. I've handled much of the drivetrain. I have never really had a leak and I've never lost any oil that I've noticed. However the bay, engine, and tranny are nasty. They all seem to seep now matter how sound they seem.

Did my second OC. My turbo oil return line was leaking too. Not as bad though. It hadn't gotten to a 'drip' stage, but there was oil present. I will say this is the slickest oil I've ever experienced, but shouldn't this really be a good seal? Is it under pressure? Discuss.
Sorry, this was taken post cleaning, but it still has residue and evidence of oil.

People in Alaska who made deposits in August of 08 are still waiting to see if they'll everget a TDi JSW. I finally bought mine in Miami.jayson9 said:

Perhaps this thread is up for a split on 'blanket' vs. '09 turbo oil return line leaks'. Not trying to add to the workload, but.

Both of my 09 Texas Jettas have the oil pan diaper...

There must be a whole nuther set of 'normal for a diesel" rules when VW is involved. The "normal for a diesel" rules I'm familiar with say leaks are a rarity. I've seen many many many million mile diesels that were leak and drip free.andylyco said:

Have you checked your two yet?

No but I will now. I have a huge assortment of banjo copper, steel, and aluminum seal washers to pick from in order to stop this line from 'sweating' hahahaha!!Elfnmagik said:
It's likely "sweating within VW specifications" as it is though...

Does anyone know the part number for the oil pan cover? I check with a dealer and according to my VIN # my car doesn't have one. I purchased it new and it was there from the beginning.
It was damage and I would like to replace it while doing some maintenance.

This cover appears to be useful for extremely cold climates, of which, North Carolina is not. It is ENTIRELY unnecessary, as is the air inlet pipe drawing air over the exhaust manifold, which is also only for extremely cold climates.
A better item for the car is a panzer plate, which more effectively protects this brittle cast aluminum reservoir from road debris impacts.

I know all the pros for a skid plate, but thats not what I'm asking. Does anyone know the part number for this?

I suggest calling Kendall VW parts dept in Alaska when they open.

An oil pan blanket would be useful in that climate, and if anyone should know where to get one, they would.
