Suzuki Club UK

Hi all just bought my first suzuki vitara xl7 2.0 td last week i replaced serpentine belt while i was underneath i noticed leaking o/s front driveshaft oil seal that i changed after breaking the snap ring and going magnet fishing. done about 500 miles and its gone again. came across a nylon bush for some models to reduce play in driveshaft but deff won't fit mine as only room for oil seal to fit in place. could anyone please offer me some advice on possible cause and perhaps a solution seems like play in driveshaft destroying oil seal

Welcome to the forum,cannot help you about your drive shaft problem,but i almost bought a blue XL7 Diesel last week as well,nice big motors but with the price of fuel down will be going for the 2.7 V6 option instead.

Hope you get the problem resolved quickly.
