How's de clutch, bye ?
Clutch is fine, only replaced a couple of months ago along with
the "Crank Seal", don't know where it's coming from.
put some on your finger & smell it, gearbox oil is quite distinctive.
i'd guess it's engine oil though

I did, you're spot on, I'm certain it's engine oil. I think it has to be that
seal, I can't think of any other place it could be coming from.
That's not a small job.
Take the starter motor off and have a good look inside.
But it doesn't look good
If it is the crank seal leaking don't wait until your clutch is slipping before you change it, because you'll have to change the clutch as well. Bite the bullet and change the seal ASAP and save some money.

Steptoe,
What would cause the seal to go after shortish service, please?
Or, tpiaw (to put it another way, i just invented that), what should Mr. Daithi watch out for?

Check its not just the last dregs of oil from when they changed the crank seal - a very small quantity always seems to look like a lot when it leaks out.
