Hdi leaking fluid - Jukie88 - 31-03-2013
Right I have a leak of some sort it's not oil as its bit black it's kinda clear as far as I can make out.
its coming from the engine bay area but all my fluid levels seem ok, it's a funky smelling fluid, I can only think if either brake fluid or power steering fluid or gearbox ??
I can't see where it's coming from. The car is very low and ive buckled a few bolts that hang low could I have cAught a pipe ?? Or punctured something metal any ideas welcome as I just can't see anything :-(

This can be removed by admin had a little look and it looks like a gearbox leak :-(

If its gearbox good chance it will be drive shaft oil seals

Is not black? Gearbox oil will be black and stinks of fish!

You would know if it's gearbox oil, f*cking rank stuff!
Place a bit of cardboard under the bay?
Is it after a run or all the time?

Slowly leaks all the time it looks clear but had a slight greeny yellow tinge to it and yep it stinks and doesn't taste very nice :-( got a mouth full when I prodded the rubber seal on the driveshaft it's loose and looks like that's here it's coming from

Think the seals are about a tenner each and are an easy job

Worth getting both done and fluid changed or just fix what's broke

May as well do both and change all the oil
