I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue. I had the phase 2 emission change done on my "new-in-2017" 2015 passat TDI @40k and then lost a little oil by 50k. The crank times got longer and it could stall if immediately put into reverse. There was oil seepage and the dealer thought the turbo, or the lines in/out of the turbo, might be leaking. They finally decided the PCV was clogged and replaced the valve cover in its entirety @56k. They said the PCV was part of the valve cover and that's how they got it covered under warranty.

It does run a little better now. I'll probably take it back @59,999 to have them recheck that the issue is resolved. Is there anything else worth checking on? It seemed odd that the dealer even brought the seepage to my attention although its the same dealer that said my struts are shot and lower control arm bushings need replaced (car rides great).

The car only leaves the driveway for a one-time 360 mile r/t commute each week.

Thanks
