Hi Guys,

I have a small oil leak from the drive shaft seal arrowed in photo below.

It's not dripping onto the ground just a bit wet around the drive shaft. Is this serious? how long have i got till it is? or is this ok and not to stress?

Thank you

aaah Interesting! Thank you. That is what i thought it was, so was wondering why it had what looked like engine oil leaking from it. makes complete sense.

The turbo looked dry from the top! when i looked. I have a small leak on one of the turbo air hoses. I have a new o-ring in order. (as well as for the filler tube) The air hose clips are solid.

Thank you for your advice.
