Oil leakage

[Andrew Evers]

Just driven my 1st VW T25 home and it's sprung a leak. Not much technical knowledge, but I do have the Bentley manual and am keen to learn.

Do you have any ideas what could of caused this and how I should go around repairing it. I've tried the wiki and searched the forum, but am still at a loss.

It's a 1989 2.1l petrol. LHD

Cheers
Andrew

Crankshaft oil seal is the likely suspect for me

Gearbox off, flywheel off, change the clutch while your there

Just to update, the guy I bought the van from agreed to pay for a new crank shaft oil seal and get it repaired at a vw specialist about 20 miles from where I live. I paid the mechanic £100 for a new clutch and picked it up last week. The arm rest had also bust and the mechanic had a spare one so gave it to me for free. I'm well chuffed and now also have a garage I can use as my local won't touch the van!! There's still the odd drop off oil, but it's not leaking like it was. Cheers for the advice and help.

does this other oil smell like engine oil?
