Just booking my car in for full service and possibly suspension overhaul, due to 19 year old 85k old rubber creaking, and have noticed I have oil misting from the back left driveshaft (no oil loss or dripping on floor), can anyone tell how much work is involved in fixing this before I book it in? Thanks.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Cost me £130 to have a new Driveshaft oil seal fitted, though that included chiselling off the filler plug as the old one had rounded off. From Photo looks like the CV boot has split though?
That CV joint boot is torn, replace it immediately before you destroy the joint! The oil you're seeing is likely from the shaft seal though. Some weeping is not uncommon, but yours looks quite bad.
Thanks for heads-up, I will not use it to I can get it booked in javascript:emoticon(':x')
