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?

for the sake of the price of the seal, id personally replace it now, along with the one in the gearbox around the inputshaft.......
and sort the breather tower one out too...... before you polish it!!

haha true
breather towers next but geabrox was more important!
trouble is steve aparently that seal is now longer available from vw and gsf etc ones are poor and prone to going
hopefully aidan should have doen or checked all the seals in the new box:)
