another GU leaking oil.

[Timbo15]

so i realised a couple of days ago my GU3 zd30 has started to leak oil. the car has done just under 200k and is automatic. it's not much only a few drops and it's only when the engine has warmed up. the leak appears to come from the end of the transmission just before the uni joints and drip off the end cover.

anyway's i was wondering how much this is gonna take to fix. will it be an expensive repair?
can i do this myself or leave it to the professionals?

That first pic looks like grease from the uni. Mine got like that after I greased them. But doing the rear seal shouldn't be too hard I reckon.

Timbo,

I remember seeing a thread ( I think by Bundu ) on replacing the main seal at the rear of the transfer case.

Search through his threads and you should find something..... I remember something about requiring a 32mm socket as a first port of call, then the rest is straightforward.
