Follow the leaks the their source. Then let us know where the leaks are coming from.

Once we know where the leaks are coming from, we can tell you how to fix the leaks.

There are common leaks for both oil and coolant on 1.8T and V6 engines. If you tell us what size engine you have, we might be able to help.

You will need to pressure test the cooling system and was and re inspect for fresh oil leaks, this should be done by a mechanic so as not to miss any leaks and get the correct identification of problem parts.
