More problems im afraid. Just noticed some sort of oil leaking from the rear drum. Dont think it brake fluid, cause im still alive! I can only assume its the diff oil.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Re: Rear drum leak
its more than likely a rear wheel bearing going, meaning the oil seal has failed. jack that wheel up and i bet there will be play in that bearing! its an easy job to do! have a look in the DIY section 
Re: Rear drum leak
What does it smell like?
Might not be the bearing, could just be the seal, but while you are in there you may as well do the bearing.

Re: Rear drum leak
Cheers guys. I did give it a sniff, thought it smelt like transmission fluid but it difficult to tell. As long as its not life threatening il add it to my to do list. Its turning into quite a long list now

Re: Rear drum leak
Dont let it get too long like mine did.
3 months it took me, and only just finished
Both rear wheel bearings where done, not a big job. Hour long job max.

Re: Rear drum leak
Seems to be a bit more of a problem than i first thought. Drove it to work today and it was making all manner of strange noises, and one of the wheels was occasionally locking up. I think maybe all the oil has fucked up the drum. Dont think im going to drive it until i get a chance to sort it out.
On a brighter note, got my add-a-leaf kit though the post today
