   common place for leaks is the drive shaft oil seal.
   
   That's a nasty hole mate.

   my vts was leaking from the n/s diff seal. £10 from eBay and fitted in 5 mins once the driveshaft is out.

   Thats a pretty nasty hole you got there mate!
   How did it happen? Its on the top of the gearbox, so how did something hit it there?
   You would expect a hole like that on the bottom lol.

   lol yea and i was at mcdonalds drive through and as i went to move forward i heard a bang and stool (N) looked well good infront of a load of boy racers haha must admit tho put me off my dinner quite badly drove it onto a kurb to have a look to see the n/s driveshaft was pretty much the only thing holding it in and the rear mount oh and lots of gearbox oil so with that in mind manually put it into 3rd gear and set course for milton keynes (and yea my driveshaft got destroyed in the process but at least i got home but my friend behing me said there was sparks flying under my car but if d/s seal it is thats kool i can manage £10
