ive just changed my wheels over from the vtr's to some tsw's. ive noticed alot oil on the inside of the front drivers wheel. was caped in a mixture of oil and muck. i had a quick look up underneath the engine and can see a lot of oil making a right mess of the oil sump and started motor. at first i thought that maybe a gaiter had split on the driveshaft but all looks intact. cant actually see where the leaks coming from so was hoping maybe someone could shed some light on the issue.

#2Hi,
If it is a black greasy oil then it will be Moly grease from the driveshaft. The smallest split can spray the grease all over the place - and this is common.
If you are sure it is engine oil then check your rocker cover gasket is ok and the cover is on tightly enough.
