I presume You are talking abouthe rear axle rubber boot that is leaking oil from Your gearbox...
You will have to check the oil in the gearbox and probably top it up...
You have to cut the old boot off and install a new one like in the pictures I have scanned....
These swing axle rubber boots are available from any VW aftermarket shop...
