Any ideas no this minor leak ?

Td6 l322 3.0

Between the bellhousing and gear box. It appears to be a greenish fluid. Possibly engine oil, or coolant. Cant see any obvious leaks looking top down. Gunked it yesterday and cleaned it. Couple of drops this morning. Maybe rear seal ??

The Breather on top is dry. Coolant lines look dry. Guessing opening the inspection door and scoping it would be more obvious

What color is your coolant if its not green it wont be that and more lightly oil, if there is no sign of oil round the top of bell housing then it must be rear oil seal on the crank unless the gearbox oil is green.

Not sure on coolant colour. Need to change that shortly. Engine is using no oil. Atf is brand new and pink.

I'll go wipe the crossmember again to see colour

The coolant color you can see in the coolant expansion tank.

Time to get the molegrips out and give it a tug, hopefully there's enough to get hold of.

Ok lucky it was long so plenty to yank on haha

Ok so coolant looks shi*ty brown colour. That's slightly concerning. I have fluid to change it. Will do it next week.

Get yourself a good radflush product and give it a good rince out afterwards. That way all that crap which is right the way throughout will be gone and give you the sense of well being knowing its upto its best condition.

Make sure you get the mix of antifreeze right or you will keep getting a coolant warning.

We buy it pre-mixed over here. Never an issue. The last lot I bought was Holts heavy-duty anti freeze... Weighs a barsteward ton.......
