Scott: Oil Leaks: Usually from one of two places; Most popular place is leaking from the oil strainer cover under the engine in the middle of the engine sump. It's about 4" in diameter, has 8 studs/nuts and requires a couple of round paper gaskets and some special copper washers for the studs (the washers get replaced whenever you remove the strainer - they crush when installed to stop leakage at the studs).
The other place is off to the left/right side of the engine where the push rod tubes leak at the ends. There is a big, tapered "O" ring on each end and they often dry out and leak. Cure is to replace the push rod tubes with spring-loaded ones with new O rings, but that's best left to a VW repair shop for now til you get better at mechanics. They see this all the time.
The only other place that I can think of is at the rear of the engine, just below the crankshaft pulley (the big pulley at the bottom, next to your newly-found dipstick). Believe it or not, these are designed to leak a small amount of oil. If there is a LOT of oil there, the car might have been trucked sitting at an acute uphill attitude, thereby forcing most of the oil to the rear of the engine and it simply leaks out. Re-settling the car normally (horizontal) will cure that. If you drive it briskly after a while and still get a lot of oil leakage below the pulley, check back in here and we'll help you cure it in other ways.
Hope this helps. Oh! and Welcome to this infectious madness that is "Speedstah Ownership"!
