These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Had my MOT today and as it was on the ramps I had a good look. I have a oil leak. This is very annoying as it hasn't lost a drop since I have owned it and underneath, unlike many C4S I have seen, was as dry as a bone. Oil! Any ideas?

POST 3Original post

Ims / Rear main or the x2 bolts in the caseing there is what i think. Seals fail or wear out .. not uncommon im afraid but needs the gearbox removeing + flywheel to check so 4 ish hours labour plus replaceing which ever needs doing . Worth considering a clutch whilst your at it . If not actually dripping on the floor then its a 3 / 5 with 4 being a drip onto the floor every few mins and 5 being dont even start it . 1-3 can be left for a while .. 4-5 cant .

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Many thanks. Another pile of cost ! Already had £3K this year. Oh well.

POST 5Original post

If its not dripping on the garage floor then you can leave it for a while .. ive seen far worse than that and the owners dont bother .. we tell them the same thing each year though .

POST 6Original post

hey, please see my post (link below). I had a very similar looking problem. It was a cheap fix, as you'll see in the post. our pics look very similar. Good luck, hope this helps. http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=128331
