Jethro_Tull Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 A new gasket or output shaft/driveshaft seal as required. Something like Hylomar blue can be used on any gaskets if you prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see and stop video at 3-4 second that bit is leaking will open it and seal also drive shaft seals leak so will replace them as well both sides, wld that stuff from euro do the job as well can it be used to seal that bit where its leaking from?

stef123 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I've replaced a few driveshaft seals on ford boxes now, sometimes tend to weep/leak a little when they are disturbed. I would normally price them into a job such as a clutch. For the sake of £10 and 5 mins of my time to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
