Fluid Leak around Passenger side front drive shaft?

---

Replacing the brake fluid and came across this on the front passenger side driveshaft.

The fluid looks to be sprayed in a circular pattern perpendicular to the end of the rubber boot.

I've had a Google and the closest thing I can find is it being a driveshaft / differential oil seal? It's had three clutches (don't ask) and for the last two the driveshafts were removed without the seals being replaced.

If it is the above - is it something easily DIY-able? RAVE makes it looks ok except for the gearbox oil and using a special tool to remove the driveshaft.

Let's block ads! (Why?)
