Try using high mileage oil and lucas additive...If leak is not too bad, that may soften and swell seal enough to stop it. To do seal correctly engine must come out.
Try it...It may help!!!

The leak seems to be coming from the shaft holding the pulley

Presuming you are talking about an oil leak from behind a pulley? All shafts as they exit the engine, have an oil seal fitted in the case and supply a tight seal to the shaft, if oil is leaking the seal is worn and needs replacing. depending on what the pulley is driving (cam belt), it could be a big job.

Have a bad oil leak from back of the motor

Check the rear main seal, if its coming out between engine and transmission it is time to replace. Usually this seal wont stop leaking even with seal conditioner. Depending on engine and chassis either the trans or motor will have to come out in order to replace the seal. If the seal is external than remove the trans, if a 1 piece internal than engine has to come out. Any way you look at it is a time consuming and big job.

How to fix oil leak from top of a manual gearbox housing

sorry but its going to be a big job. you need to remove the gearbox to open up and get to the seals. you could try and use an additive in the gear box, its like oil seal for engine you can get it for engines gear boxes and difs and power steering. it sometimes goes by seek and seal, in older vehicles its quite good. you will need to replace the oil it will need to be done twice to clean it all out so it can get a good seal.. i.e change oil run engine get the gearbox to move for 20 min then change the oil as its warm not hot so let it cool down for 10-20 min then drain. put the seek and seal in and top up with oil and run as normal, check after a few days to see if its worked. usual does.

wsell the best bet is to find the leak first then buy a bible haynes and chilton both make a great bible for your car
once you wash the front of the motor off it will be evadent to weather you are ready to tackel the job
just take betsy to the car wash open the heed and leave her running now pump in some quarters and soak the girl clean all the **** and dont be afraid

Oil leak on 2005 -2006 new model passat

rear end oil seal ,a common fault but its expensive to repair although the seal only costs coppers as the gearbox has to come completely out and this will involve dropping the sub frame as well.no short cuts here ,iam afraid ,how bad is the leak ??try some autobox laek sealer additive and put it in the engine oil.also if and when you have it repaired check for a ball bearing blancking plug in end of oil gallery its a possibility ??seen it before .whats the mileage of this vehicle as it sounds like a high mileage reps cars
