Recommended Posts

hello

ive noticed a little leak, drops on the floor when parked. its only small drops of oil

i looked under the car and you can always see a drip about to fall of the sump, i cleaned it buy hand da other day n it looks like it coming from above the sump at the bulkhead end gearbox side?? the car aint losing ANY engine oil...

yesterday i parked then looked under it and THERE WAS A LEAK ABOUT 5 DROPS ON DA FLOOR BUT THE OIL WAS CLEAR ALMOST WHITE AND VERY VERY THIN AND VERY CLEAN TOO... ALMOST LIKE WATER BUT IT WAS OIL...

IS GEARBOX OIL ALMOST WHITE? AND VERY THIN? I COULDNT SMELL NOTHING FROM IT....LOOKED FOR THAT PEANUT SMELL BUT COULDNT TELL??

ok im confused

brake oil seems full n it dont hold alot so if it was that im sure it would ave gone down by now?

engine oil is still very full n it looks too thin to be that?

oil looks like water its so thin n clean doea this say its gotta be da gearbox?

i aint got the tool to check the gear box, is that funny socket summin i can get from halfords or do i have to get stuck in traffic going to VW ?? europarts n gsf are near me will they sell da bit to check da gearbox oil???

you should be able to get the gearbox plug spanner from Halfords (that's where I just got mine from anyway! ;) )

 

Gear oil normally doesn't fit your description of the stuff that's been leaked... it's evil smelling stuff normally.... what you've described does sound very much like hydraulic fluid from the clutch slave cylinder... :|

Could also be the pipe leading to the slave? Or maybe fluid leaking internally into the clutch housing then out again at the bottom...

put summin under it to catch the oil its yellowy white dont smell much abit fishy..

if i look under the car most of the oil appears to end up on the block that got the vw logo on it n just above it
