im trying to solve all the leaking problems on my engine. when i had a good look under the car, i noticed, it was leaking gearbox oil. and the driveshaft was soaked in oil. so next weekend i will be replacing the rocker gasket (which is leaking, as last owner tighten the bolts up TOO much and crushed the gasket) putting new seal on the driveshaft, and HOPEFULLY undo the bottom bolts of the gearbox, and put some seal in there, with out dropping the engine down, as its only leaking from the bottom!
lets hope by this time next weekend, all leaking problems will b solved

Mine was leaking from sump plug and oil filter.
Had them changed and oil done etc but still got slight drip off bottom of oil filter don't think anything from sump now.
Going to get engine a good steam clean and have a look where anything is leaking from.It's very slight as car isn't going through any oil

From the air, my driveway looks like it's been painted in dalmatian print.
