O Otago Member Mar 25, 2016 #1 Hi I have an oil leak from the rear of the IRD where it joins the prop shaft. It has spun quite a bit of oil on the underside of the car. I will try and load a photo. Do I need a new TRX100170? Attachments IMG_20160325_100041.jpg 209.1 KB · Views: 243

GrumpyGel Well-Known Member Mar 25, 2016 #2 Are you sure it is coming from the IRD, is it not grease escaping from the rubber gaiter over the prop shaft CV? Grease that's been in that gaiter for a while does tend to look just like oil.

O Otago Member Mar 25, 2016 #3 Yes you are correct. Too far back for Ird. Thanks. Guess I need a new boot.
