i use hks engine flush, valvoline vr1 20w-50 and a mann oil filter.
Also, I've seen a lot of the VW mechanics on yt using Mann filters when doing oil changes. Considering the one I bought from VW was like $25, and rockauto has the Mann ones for like $8, that's what I plan on using in the future.
You can find Mobil 1 esp at most local car parts stores and you won’t have to ship. 0w30 or 5w30, double check it’s VW 507.00 on the back. I think my advanced auto parts down the street had the correct Mann oil filter in stock too.
I recently switched to Amsoil using a Mann filter. It runs great.
It is important to follow the service intervals and use quality stuff. I use motul for fluids and usually buy mann filters.
The Mann filter I use in my 13 Jetta TDI is HU 719/7X. haven't had any problems with them.
The VW OE oil filter is a Mann.
I have used the Amsoil Premium diesel oil and filters for the last decade, changing them once a year, and my truck is doing just fine.
some mann filters have a nut at the buttom to make it easier to repmove on g60 but tis more cash for a dumm nut
To me it looks like you have a cheap shitty non oe/oem filter installed. I'd change the filter to a good brand, (mann/mahle/oem bmw) and then clean the area with brake clean then let vehicle run and recheck. If it's leaking as bad as it looks like it is it will be easy to verify that you fixed it
