i carnt see anything ??

[fossie]

Yeah likewise mate....i had this go in my 306 GTi6 and it was the driveshaft seal

[carter]

cheers guys so hopefully it sould be under 50quid if its just a seal

[Essay]

yeah mate i had this done cost me £56 it was just the driveshaft seal

[carter]

had it checked today. its the gear box itself, needs to be resealed, 6hours labour!!! to take it out do the job, change the clutch (as thats on its way out) and put it back!!!

£420!!!!!!!! is this alittle expensive!??

[Predator_R32]

420 to me is expensive mate, its probablie about right as its an awkward job

jet wash all the oil off then take the car for a quick run and see exhactly where its commign from as you might be able to do somethin with it yourself depending which part its comming from

alrite mate can se the pics dont think is goitobe your cv boot , (drive shaft seal ) for the simple reason it holds grease not oil
