Is this bad?

[jaysen71581]

Yes i know its bad lol.. Im not having any luck sourcing this, also would this be the reason i had oil leaking out from the car?  And why would that crack like that??

Bad install is my guess.

Purdy sure this one will fit (but check first)

This is the best solution. A PTFE seal is far superior to the standard rubber/spring seal. There is one problem though, the two bolts that go into it through the oil pan are 7mm vs the original which are 6mm. So you will need to drill the oil pan out a little bit to accomodate the larger bolts. I have this seal on my Scirocco and I dont suspect to see it leak for a very long time.

Just get the PTFE rear main seal for the VR6 and press it in to the orginal Rabbit seal carrier.
Or get the combo seal w/PTFE seal with the 6mm holes.
