Seems to be leaking from the diff where the shaft goes in...

1) Is this bad?
2) is this fixable? (Just a replacement seal or something?)

More than likely just needs a new oil seal.

Hopefully, what are they like to get hold of? And to change? Ugh cars lol

Edit: Found the seal on bits 4 vits website - http://www.bits4vits.co.uk/store/vitara ... d_412.html

Is it worth grabbing a nylon support bearing while I am at it?

Edit again: I have ordered both of these anyway :slap:
