Hello Guys,
I am new to VW and recently got mkr32 and got haldex and DSG serviced. However, i can see some oil been dripping from haldex area and mechanic told me I might see some but I drove the car like 200kms since haldex service and still can see it is dripping... is it expected?

You should never have any leaks after something has been serviced. Try to tighten up the empty drain plug a bit but not to hard as you can rip the threads out of the alloy case. Ideally get the drain plug removed and have a new plug and seal fitted then top up the haldex oil again.

Sometimes you do get a bit of oil blown through the breather after the oil change if its been overfilled.

If the crush washer got reused, it can leak. The service kit usually comes with a new fill plug which comes with a new crush washer. Check to make sure the fill plug is tight enough. It should be tightened enough to feel the washer crush and then a little more. I don't know the exact torque spec, I do it by feel. Chances are it has plenty of fluid in it if its leaking out the fill plug.

I have to get it checked, as i don't have right tools for it. I have emailed the mechanic who did the haldex service and he assured me that he put everything new but i have booked an appointment with him on 4th January...so can't drive till den...just reducing risk
