Rhr Driveshaft Seal Leak?

[MrBurns]

Hey, Had my R33 serviced by nissan the other day and they mentioned the seal in its righthand rear driveshaft has a leak.

Is this bad if I leave it too long? If so, anyone know where I can get this fixed in Adelaide? I rang a drive shaft specialist in edwardstown and they reckon only nissan can fix it.

Cheers

Depends how bad its leaking. If its a big leak then yes it is a big deal since the diff will have no oil soon. In regards changing is a straoght forward job if you remove the diff centre allthough could still get it done with the centre in the car.

Just drain oil, unbolt drive shaft , hit out half shaft , change seal then reassemble.

I call bullshit.

Tell them to check out the breather that's directly above it

If the seal IS leaking, they cost about $25 from Nissan and a competant mechanic should be able to do it in under an hour
