Spent the day doing checks around the rear diff seal and underside. Diff seal region often looked dirty and damp. The rear silencer box looked like it had been sprayed with oil mist at some point before I took ownership nearly 5 years ago. But no, the seal is clean and oil tight.
So I cleaned up the rear silencer and was shocked to see the evidence of it most likely being the original from 2005.
On another point, can anyone tell me what the hose I point to on right side adjacent to coolant tank in the engine bay is? And if your hose is flattened out like mine? Doesn't't look right to me
