UV Dye Test Before Any Gasket Replacement
A small amount of oil seepage from cam cover gaskets or camshaft seals is common on higher-mileage Tiguan engines and often remains stable without worsening. A true oil leak — visible drips on ground, burning oil smell at idle, rapid oil level drop — needs immediate action. In Malaysia's heat, oil on hot exhaust burns and creates smoke that owners often mistake for a cooling problem. At 4M Car Care we perform a UV dye leak test to pinpoint the exact source before recommending any gasket or seal replacement on the Tiguan.
