i am afraid this oil leak is very common. It could be the valve cover =
gasket, too. i have the same symptom on my 16V but it's a very slow =
leak, and it's definitely the head gasket.
unless you see oil mixed with water or excessive oil use by the engine, =
don't worry about it. you can fix it when you tear down the engine.
