My mini has a couple of oil leaks, one is comming from the drivers side drive shaft and the other is arrowed in the attach picture as I'm not sure what it's called...

Is the one for the drive shaft called a 'Gearbox output shaft gasket'? What is the name of the gasket to stop the oil leak in the attached picture?

Many Thanks,
Dan

The drive shaft one: If its coming from where the driveshaft enters the diff housing, from the rubber thing, then thats probably the diff/pot joint oil seal. That's what mine does, and it gets much worse if jacked up.

when you get oil where your arrow is, its usually run down from the bottom pulley on the end of the crank,this oil seal is like the driveshaft oilseal, a black rubber lip seal.

Well I've had another look and a bolt is missing so that might be causing it :)

Well the oil is dropping from the inner CV joint but I think it's leaking from this thing

Will replacing the oil seal fix the oil leak, I am a bit confused after looking on the Mini Spares website.

They Say that the replacment seal doesn't help of the bronze bush is worn Mini Spares - Diff Side cover

Do you know anything about this?

Thanks,
Dan
