hey all, i have noticed an oil leak from around the front of my car (gearbox/oil) area, its quite a slow leak but ideally i would want it sorted...
what would i need to stop it and is it an easy job to do myself?

thanks all

I think you have the fun task of trying to work out where its actually coming from! Oil is annoying stuff cause its so gloopy and dribbles down everywhere!

Its a bit difficult for anyone to say how easy it would be to sort if they dont know exactly where its coming from

okay, ill have to have a better look tomorrow, thanks

If its not much you can put an additive in the oil to try and seal it, i did that to mine it stopped it.....for a while.

mine has a small oil leak, and im pretty sure most do to. but i dont think its anything to worry about, juyst make sure you keep your eye on the oil level and keep it topped up

They normally leak where the gear change rod goes into the gearbox. Then again they leak everywhere!!
