Gen 2 vanquish oil leak

[tuscaneer]

Guys.... 7 months into a flawless ownership experience..but suddenly my drive is covered in oil under the left side of the rear axle.... Any clues as to what this is?



Here's the right side so you can see that the same area is bone dry on that side....

Hi. Hope you’re well, it is most likely the rear diff plate that’s leaking. Where abouts are you based? Feel free to message me. Thanks

Hello mate, and thanks for the reply! Had it looked at and apparently it was a shock absorber leak, it was a bit of a trek back up to Newcastle so the guys there arranged for Wilmslow to sort it out under warranty..

Thanks again anyway pal,

Heya mate,

Ahh nice, excessive leak for a rear shock must’ve been a bad one! I’m in London if ever you need anything. Thanks

yeah they used the term "blown" and wouldn't let me drive it in... sent the low loader! appreciate the help mate

Hopefully they are changing both rear shocks as they should always be changed in pairs irrespective of just one faulty rear shock absorber.

yes mate! they did do both cheers.... now all i've got to do is get all the bloody oil off the drive!
