What does the team think,duff IMG install (by me!) or ,more seriously,HGF? 1.8T engine on 109K,by the way.
ETA: Can a leaking IMG cause oil contamination, say by leaking past pistons when standing?

This happened on a friends TF, too much coolant getting into the cylinder and it bent the conrod. Coolant cannot be compressed.
Get it fixed sooner rather than later.
