Transmission fluid leak
I noticed a small patch of gearbox oil on the drive the other day. You’ll know if it gearbox oil by the horrendous smell! It looks like the offside driveshaft seal is leaking. This is a circular seal that sits in the end of gearbox differential casing. The driveshaft goes through this seal. It’s possible I disturbed the seal when refitting the gearbox and driveshafts after changing the clutch. I despise dealing with transmission oil at the best of times, so I’m going to book it into the garage to sort this one out easily on the ramps.
For those of the DIY persuasion I’ve described the process of fixing it yourself here.
