Oil filter/housing and the Crank Position Sensor are pretty common leak points. The CPS leak on my own car was like this phantom leak I just couldn't find until a shop fixed it for me.
Pros: common leak points
Cons: phantom leak

my 5k service on Friday, w/oil change, cost $54 w/filter (I supplied the oil since the dealer didn't stock it, from http://www.1stvwparts.com / for $6.80/ltr.).
Mileage: 5000 km
I used the oil that is VW507.00 spec and can be bought at the VW dealer (approx retail cost is $7.00 per liter) Oil change capacity is approximately 13 liters. Oil filter part number is shown. I ordered the oil filter cap removal tool from http://www.samstagsales.com for $67.00 plus shipping.
oil filter that i run is off of a 1995 Eurovan Part # 074-115-561 hold about 1qt in the filter itself. had to slightly bent the secondary air pump a tad so it wouldnt rub.
Pros: holds about 1qt
Cons: required bending air pump
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Part number: 074-115-561
I've used the larger oil filter for a couple changes and have gone back to the smaller stock filter for one reason. The drain-back valve on the diesel filter didn't work nearly as well as the valve on the smaller stock filter. I'd get a little valve rattle at startup with it which was noisy and embarassing to put it mildly. It did this consistently while the larger filter was used over 3 oil change intervals. Back to the stock filter now and all is silent.
Cons: poor drain-back valve, valve rattle at startup
