My Gti has developed a bit of an oil leak from the gear box, its not the selector shaft seal.
Its had a little leak which I have been monitoring for a while around the blue circle (see picture) but recently its started getting a lot worse and making a rate mess of the drive!
I have noticed oil along the join where the green circle is but that doesn't seam to bad judging by the marks left on the wood underneath.
A lot of the oil seams to collect on the bottom of the wishbone mount circled in red but I don't really understand how its getting there unless its dripping down blowing backwards on to the components and then collecting there and dripping off when I am parked up. I am pretty sure it is gearbox oil, also the boot lid gets specks of oil on it which makes me think its dripping down and blowing underneath the car.
Anyone had a similar problem? For the time being I am just topping it up regularly as that's my cheapest option but I dislike having any oil leaks!
Any input greatly appreciated
