Smelled burning oil earlier this week. Oil level is still ok but obviously it's leaking quite a bit.

Is this OK?

as well as maybe some sort of cam-tensioner seal leak/valve cover gasket leak.

You're leaking oil, coolant and have a torn CV boot.

Had my cam tensioner seal done about 30k ago.

Yeh the other pics are for enjoyment value. Any ideas on the oil leak specifically?

It's a very very very slow leak like you (oil in same place). Looks like there's a black plastic pump or something on the driver's side that you can only see from underneath. I believe this is where my oil is slowly leaking from (and onto about half of the oil pan). I haven't noticed my oil level dropping however. Your COOLANT leak is BAD! Probably afterrun coolant pump under intake manifold. Fix that CV boot ASAP so you don't have to replace the joint. Possibly look into a rebuilt axle...<ul><li><a href="http://www.raxles.com/">Rebuilt Axles</a></li></ul>

replace it, you can use the part numbers from the tech article and get them from 1stVWparts for under 100 bucks

Have the joint sitting here. Thanks for info though.
