Fergy Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Picked the new Mark V up on Monday and only just noticed a clear viscous fluid leak (which I presume is oil from the rear which smells like fried onions of all things. It must have been happening from day 1 as there are small dots of oil all over the garage floor. Managed to get underneath and take a pic Ive put a bowl underneath overnight to judge the flow. The leak appears to be coming from a rounded silver area which is above a black bar between the rear wheels Going to ring dealership as soon as they open Any ideas?

mlhj83 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes, take it for inspection, it shouldn't be leaking. It does look like it's an oil leak from where the rear right drive shaft connects to the rear diff. The oil could either be the from inner cv joint or the rear diff.

Fergy Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well it turns out it was the seal on the rear diff. Got the car back from the dealers after a very thorough inspection and seems great. For the trouble, the first service is FOC and a nice bottle of champagne as an pology. Top effort form a genuinely gutted dealership Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
