Oil drips on the drive are getting worse.
Rear diff and somewhere at the gearbox end.
I assume it's the rear diff oil seals.
The gearbox was fitted new by the main dealer at 160K in late 2004, paid for by the previous owner - So I would have expected new oil seals to fitted everywhere on the gearbox end of things.
I park the car on my driveway which is quite a gradiant, I expect this is putting pressure on the system. The previous ownes also had a driveway with a harsh gradiant and the car required a parking brake adjustment as soon as I bought it last year.
The drips were apparent when I bought the vehicle but now it's a worry.
How much should I be expected to pay an indie to rectify? and what are the likely seals on the gearbox end?
