My st170 seems to be leaking gearbox oil. I jacked it up earlier and it seems to be coming out of where the nearside driveshaft goes in. Is this something simple like a seal gone? Or is it a more serious problem? Easy or not to fix?

Thanks in advance

Piece of piss to do mate - you'll need a new seal (few quid) and some new gear oil (5W30 Gear Oil) - jack the car up, undo the ball joint from the bottom of the hub - pry bar the shaft out the box - replace the seal and back in.

That is a simplified version of what i remember doing on mine 2 years ago lol

ok mate cheers for that, it is still under warranty so I will get them to sort it for me, just wondering what was involved!

Thanks Will
