    Well where to start!!
    The car was having massive vibrations coming from the os of the engine bay. Was lookin and lookin for the problem only to find that the engine mount rubber had gone, so obv it was metal on metal andcausing car to vibrate. After removing the engine mout and rubber ( with jack underneat engine) knowing i didnt have the new one yet. So i called my bro out to help me push car back into place, completly forgeting the jack was under the engine. I pushed the engine off the jack witch made engine fall. I quickly looked and noticed througj engine bay that there was gear oil pissin out until it was all out lol. I left car as it was until today, when i got in.
    Jacked engine back up and put old engine mount on for the time beein and had a look at the damage. It dont seem too bad by looking but maybe u can help!!!!!

    It is OS drive shaft, where the drive shaft meets the g-box, looks like a seal or summin has gone because the oil come from there. Out from where drive-shaft meets the g,box.

    Thanks alot in advance for your replys and hope u can help. Cheers

    sounds like you need a new driveshaft seal then.

    Sounds like the shaft has popped out a little way when the engine droped off the jack


    Jack the car up remove the bottom ball joint and push the shaft back in the box top up the gearbox oil should be ok Muppet !!!
