Went out on the 1st decent drive, roughly about a 120 mile round trip. Drives lovely. Unfortunately noticed a few drips of fluid after being parked up. Smell test showed gear oil.. And around the cv boot quite wet, damn i thought, i must have screwed up putting the oil cap on the drive flange..
After getting home and having a proper look, it actually looks like its coming from the gear selector shaft seal. Definitely very wet, and as you can see the seal is knackered! surprised how much oil can leak out of there actually, seeing how high up it is.
