2015 Golf TDI oil pan replacement

[Stanley]

I've got a small oil leak, not the plug and it's time for me to fix it. I have the correct OEM pan, Dirko, replacement O-ring for the oil sensor and now I'm ready to do it. Any tips, videos or other help? Couldn't find anything specific to my model. I'll be using my ramps :-( but that's how it goes.

Thanks!

Never seen an oil pan leak.... seen pretty much every single EA288 engine plastic front sealing flange leak after about 80k miles though.

Both the lower and upper oil pans need to come off, then the timing belt, then the crank sprocket, THEN the sealing flange.

I'd suggest first getting a positive ID on what exactly is leaking, and then look into getting a subscription to an online shop manual. I'd replace that oil pump belt while you're in there, too.
