Small timing chain cover leak

[yeahforbes]

Looks like I've got a small leak in my timing chain cover... or could it be something else? I can see what seems like a small gap in the gasket near the arrow in the photo. In case it's related to recent service (shouldn't be, right?) I've had the following in recent months, starting with the most recent:

• DSG
• Haldex
• Rear brakes w/ brake flush
• Oil change (dealer)
• Thermostat housing (dealer, warranty extension)

Not sure how critical it is. Oil level is fine so far. 60k mi.

It could be coming from the oil cap, its a known issue... Supposedly there is a revision, but some have reported that even those eventually leak too.
Also, its more likely oil vapors, not actual oil seeping out. Mine leaks too, haven't bothered with it...

Replace your PCV.

Replace your PCV.

Is there a way to test the PCV before spending money to replace it? Thanks.

As said check the oil cap, they weep all the time.
