Advise flywheel seal with pics

Post by gti mad man »

ok so thought sod it clutch is off may as well inspect the flywheel seal as there was some gunk/oily stuff behind the clutch so though mayeb the seal
thought sod it whip the flywheel off

well now im not so sure the seal seems pretty dry considering but i do have a oil leak from my breather tower that drips/flows oil down so could get into the box ,this is leaking from top left in the overall pic

what you guys reckon?
