Why is steam coming from my 2001 Volkswagen Golf's oil filler?
I have a 2001 Volkswagen Golf TDI 130 and I've noticed that there is steam coming out of the engine in the area around the oil filler. I found oil around here and it seems to be finding its way to a slight leak underneath the front of the car. The engine temp is fine, coolant is ok and the oil level is ok. Any ideas what the problem might be?
