Hi looked at an 04 1.8t cab 93k 1 owner today cheap money 2k but it has a slight oil leak poss cam seal or cam chain ten gasket? Can smell burnt oil after a drive . Thee radio has no reception & the boot gator has been cut taped back up history say's a garage investigated the issue a few years back guessing wiring fault or amp's in boot lid.
Worth punt or avoid .
Advice asap would be great as i need to tell the guy if i want it.
Thanks guys
Sean
 
Have a look at the back of the cylinder head regarding the leak but I think it's more likely to be from the drivers side of the rocker cover that's leaking as that's above the exhaust manifold, oil dripping onto hot manifold = burning oil smell. Would be as well changing rocker cover and cam chain tensioner gasket if you buy. Can you scan for fault codes for the aerial problem?
