Oil leak when parked
Are you going to fix or ignore?

Mechanics usually can resolve that kind of issue.
Another solution might be to drive the car constantly, if it only leaks while parked.

Check your oil often,keep your oil topped off, if it leaks while parked it probably leaks more at speed. Get it looked at sooner rather than later.

Bring the vehicle to a shop and see if they can locate the leak.
If not, then ask that they add a dye to the oil. Then drive the vehicle a while and then bring it back. They’ll us a UV light that will expose where the oil is leaking from with the dye mixed in.

Diy’er, no 2016 Golf experience. But I did own a much older Rabbit, and its infrequent oil leaks were usually sourced from the valve cover. Replacing the valve cover gasket stopped the leak.
