Rear propshaft oil seal leak?
Looking at the underneath of my car (MY01 Bugeye) approx. where the rear of the propshaft seems to meet the rear diff there is what appears to be a thickish oil or grease plastered all around the surrounding bracket.
Is there an oil seal in this area that may have gone or what else might it be.
If it is an oil seal how big a job is it to rectify?
If the description is not clear I will try and post up some pics.
Thanks
Mark.

There is a seal where the prop enters the box yes...
not 100% sure on size of the job, not sure if the box needs to be removed and split to fit the seal, I would suspect not and just a case of draining box oil, dropping prop and replacing the seal.. but only removed the prop and box to change a clutch so did no more than look at the seal when putting the prop back in, but not with changing it in ,mind.

From memory, which often fails me, it's where the rear of the propshaft marries up with a shaft from the rear diff?.
Apologies if you were talking about the rear diff end.

The prop itself has no oil seal as it is a dry prop.
