Oil leak, need your help guys
Hi everyone, right I had a new clutch in 2 months ago and now got a oil leak. Been under the car today and found out where it's coming from. Sorry pics are not brilliant. When I change gear the piston goes back and fourth, that's where it's leaking from. Now would they of had to mess with this and if so would they sort it out? Had it done at welovemgf.

Hi, difficult to see but are you sure that's where it's coming from as from the pics it looks like it's coming from above. However if your sure then CDU71L from Rimmer bros is a selector shaft seal.

Yes I'm almost positive. Is it a do it yourself job?

I've not done this one before but would expect it to be a tap out tap in seal. Slide back the gaiter and have a look see

Linking the workshop manual apparently isn't done around here, but if you do happen to track down a copy through some arcane witchcraft like google, or buy one from the (I'm sure) excellent sources the MG club recommends - as per forum rules - it's agreeably comprehensive.MGTFMAN wrote:Yes I'm almost positive.

(Joking aside, I'd check an online copy to make sure this particular job is in there before you buy just for this, but in general a paper copy is worth every penny and then some.)
