VXR8 Oil Leak

[MontyPythonX]

Got a few drips of oil on my drive under the rear of the car. Is this likely to be the diff?

[Lincsls1]

Yes that's the most likely culprit, input (1) or output seals (2), drain plug. Or gasket/seal between the 2 sections.
You need to have a look underneath, should be reasonably obvious.

Will update when i hear back from the garage

Got the car back from the garage this morning.
The nearside driveshaft had "popped out", they reinstalled it, cleaned up the mess, topped up the oil and took it for a test drive with no further leaks.
Decent outcome, I'll just keep my eyes peeled for any new oil drips on my driveway

How bizarre!

Wonder if hes had some wheel hop, violent enough to pop shaft out?

[MontyPythonX]

No wheel hop, appalling potholes around here mind!

I'm not sure how the shaft can actually pop out anyway?
Going to head to AAS on Saturday anyway so I'll talk it through with Stuart.

Sounds like a plan! I didn't think they'd be able too either

[MontyPythonX]

So after speaking to Stuart, he also agreed that they shouldnt be able to.
On the plus side, it's booked in for a service on Thursday so they'll investigate then
