If your using a pressure washer DON'T aim it at any of the electrics & also make sure the engine is stone COLD.
Oil leaks can be hard to find unless you see actually the leak in action, I normally find starting with it clean helps pinpoint the leak.

#7: Re: Oil leak Author: 206HdiGti, Posted: Mon Oct 13, 2014 5:18 am ---- I had this happen on my HDI.
It hadn't gotten to the stage of dripping but thankfully found it when changing my clutch and DMF.
Unfortunately the box has to come off, but when it's off you might want to clean the back of the flywheel as there WILL be oil on this.
Mine was covered in it, perhaps one of the many reasons it was fubar.
It's very easy to change the rear main seal, unfortunately I wasn't expecting this to be here, so a very quick 120 mile round trip and £22 later it was all fixed!
