hi everyone .
2weeks ago my car was leaking oil i took it to the garage and they said it was the driveshaft seal.
but my car is still leaking could there be another leak or is it just the oil that was leaking dripping down ???

any ideas would be a big help :) thanks :y:

Being a vts could be cam covers or cam ladders, could be headgasket or oil cooler pipes.

Word of advice...I replaced both driveshafts and seals, and one side continues to leak, have now replaced the seal on that side and it still likes to leak...I've not found out why or how to stop it yet, but when you take out the driveshaft make sure nothing is sitting in the opening etc...
