    ive got a 1300 mk2 polo, same engine as a golf as far as im aware

    theres an oil leak from a bolted on flange which i assume is the oil pump [:s]can i whip off the cam belt and pulleys then undo the oil pump and take it off?? i recon it needs a gasket

    anyone had one apart

    where abouts is it leaking from? you have to drop the sump to get the oil pump out.

    as far as i can tell ..the flange of the oil pump where it bolts to the block seems to be leaking

    could also be that corner of the sump gaset or front crank oil seal [:s]

    i figured id change em all...but im unsure of what kind of job doing the oil pump gasket is
