Craaap! Help! :(

Post by oodLes »

What's this seal off? its obviously broken off something and there's a fair bit of oil around the gearbox and bottom of the engine. Its black with oil so I hope that narrows it down:

If I'm reading the FTO engine manual right, that's the oil relief plug? What's that do? It has full oil and doesn't appear to be leaking much at all, it just has it around the gearbox etc.

FTO is my only mode of transport and I really REALLY don't need a blown gearbox or something atm. 8O Really worried.

After calling a mate who works for a large car dealership as a techie, he logged into their parts db and found an MD844455, which is this: http://completefto.com.au/modules/parts/parts.asp?pid=7

Front stabiliser bushing.

Crisis over, now to find that oil leak and monitor it. Going in for a service asap.
