On to the next leak - drive flange seal :)

I've been getting oil spun up from the passenger side CV joint so investigated the cause. I ruled out leaks from the cam covers and resealed the cam end cover with some Hondabond and cleaned the CV joint and drive flange from the transmission. A short run revealed oil leaks moving outwards in lines from the drive seal on the differential cover confirming the drive flange seal to be the culprit. The main issue is that it is flicking oil up onto the rear exhaust manifold which is not clever, and it's also getting oil all over my lovely clean engine :)



It's a cheap part (£5), but will require the CV joint and drive flange to be removed. It all looks quite accessible but the CV bolts might be really tight - watch this space.
