My earlier post sought help to understand how to separate the Active Couipling at the front of the Haldex in order to do the fuel tank sender connector fix https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic35473.html

Having successfully done the repair, refitted the tank and rebuilt the car, I now discover I have an oil leak from the front of the Haldex Unit - see pictures below:







Can anyone confirm whether this is the Haldex pinion oil seal that's leaking and advise is this only going to get worse or is it a question of it settling down having disturbed it? I understand that the Haldex has to come out to replace the seal and that specialist tools are required. Can anyone advise?

A trip to Bell Engineering would save all this grief, no saving what so ever scabbling around under your car without the proper gear or knowledge .

Agreed- not intending to attempt Haldex removal/seal replacement myself if that’s it. Thankfully O have a very good local ex-LR tech who did my front diff last year and guess where I’m going first thing Monday!

If you havent undone anything on the haldex I dont see why it should start leaking - all you did was remove the propshaft.

Are you sure there wasnt a pool of WD40 somewhere in the flange ? just guesssing Jules

Sadly, too much oil coming out and, late this afternoon, I found the smoking gun....




You can see the oil coming out of one of the 2 blind holes - interestingly, the other is dry.
