Ok, may have found the problem. It looks like somewhere on the oil filter flange is leaking. See below.

I had to come in cause of the heat for a little while, i'll head back out an run her again and check it some more. Is there a gasket behind that flange? Could the high pressure sensor be leaking. Can't really tell yet.[/img]

I don't know if these VW senders will do it or not but I've seen some others leak internaly right through them and out around the pastic at the connector.
