That doesn't look good :(

just noticed that all doesn't seem well with my rear drive.

Passesd the MOT fine, but the 7 miles ride back seems to have taken its toll.

The oil seems to be coming out the breaker

Obviously if you havn't changed/topped up the oil then it is coming from the shaft. Check oil level in driveshaft and if non in there or going down, then there is an oil seal where the driveshaft meets the rear hub ( need a special tool to remove a cast ring to get at the seal though ). Worth checking gearbox level to see if that is going down...although there won't be much difference after only 7 miles !

That's bolloxed.

Is that bigyellags's old bike? If it is I sold him the forks, wheels, bevel box, swinging arm and sub frame.

Wish I'd kept the bits now.

Care to elaborate on that?

Yes it is. do you want to buy the bits back, compete with full MOT

Kenny covered the checks to make. I'm sure that was a 1976 R90/6 bevel box (as were the rest of the bits apart from the subframe).
