Purchasing a 2003 Jetta with a slight oil leak. The engine already had timing belt & water pump changed at 105,000.

Can anyone help assess risk & possible repair of the leak?

Only sure thing is that it appears it is not coming from the front or the top.

I assumed that they had the head off at 105K when the timing belt & water pump was changed. However, that was 40,000 miles ago.
