the cars only done 80k i had a look at the gearbox and found no where to top up?

Oh no, i came out this morning and found a stream of oil under the car seems to have leaked from the bell housing thing between engine and gearbox. At first i thought it was engine oil so i checked dipstick and the level was just below max where it always stays, so i thought i would start car to see if i could pinpoint leak, no sign of leak anywhere so decided to drive up the road and to my horror the car will not move in any gear (auto box) so turned car off sharpish. took a close look at the oil and i think it maybe transmission fluid. Please someone let me know if i have killed the car / g

hi devery my vr has just sprung a leak from the same area bell housing. Did you solve the problem?what was it and HOW MUCH am i looking at paying?

well just got back from having top mounts/bearings and wheel allignmet done and my crunching/rubbing noise has gone. all in £130.mechanic said this is common problem when upgrading suspension.

hi tonk i also have the gmax setup. and i also suffer from the driver side crunch when going over pot holes. I am riding on 17s but no sign of rubbing.i have had the kit on about 2 months and the crunch has got worse over time so i belive the problem is probably related to worn bushes/strut mount bearings. i got the car booked in garage to get suspension looked at. will see what they say.

Hey Peeps i have just come back from my local mechanics, just had new rear discs pads and gearbox engine mount fitted. My car has an auto box, but when i slide the selector to D or below it has become very tight and i can hear a slight grinding sound like an overtight cable or something. Brought car straight back to see what they had done wrong. Mechanic says he hadnt done anything that could have caused it.He loosened engine mount but this made no difference. The car still drives fine so i may just have to suck it, just for peace of mind just like to know if the work he done could have caused
