Depends what's leaking out, if it's oil you may have dislodged a driveshaft or damaged a seal. If it's leaking milk, you've probably filled it with dairy instead of the correct oil.Best bet is get some good degreaser on the go and get it all clean so you can see exactly where the leak is coming from, because either is feasible. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Did you change the driveshaft seals for new Pug ones? They are dead easy to nick with the spline of a driveshaft and then they leak. Oil has a habbit of getting everywhere, so like Owain says, get cleaning first.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?
