Red pool under car

Well it is booked in at ARB for next Tuesday. So i am now without a car for a week at least. Shithouse!

Oh and ARB were the earliest i could get it done. Flooding apparently equals a boom for mechanics.

Yeah that's true, the mechanics and auto elecs were flat out down here for about 6 weeks after our last floods. Suppose atleast you are getting something done about it, sucks you haven't got a car though, least they could have done is offered you a D22, they're a dime a dozen these days :big_smile:

have you got a 8 mm allen key, undo the filler and check how far down it is, a little oil spreads a log way. it may have only lost 100ml

Well at least i have a way ahead. No money to fix either problem, but away ahead none the less.

Love how life will always find a way to kick you while your down.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.....I think this is power steering...I had a similar problem where there was a large fluid leak about 50km after picking the car up and got returned to the dealer by Nissan roadside assist. It was a loose connection in one of the PS connections and only took 5 minutes to fix.

On his photos it is the front seal on the transfer case.It is an easy fix as D40 abuser has said but ring Nissan to find out if the 32mm nut has to torqued to a certain Nm

Lads it probably is an easy fix, but i have very few tool available to me at the moment. My knowledge is more of an electrical/electronic nature, not so much mechanical.
