Amazing! Another potential disaster thwarted! Great catch!!!
Mike, I had no idea there was a leak till we put it up on the hoist. The oil level in the gearbox was still full so it is safe to assume the leak was very minor. No idea how long it had been leaking but it was not leaking at my last WOF 6 months ago.
I have the bolt sitting on my coffee table at home, I have over the past few days been looking at it from time to time..... It is an interesting thing to look at after a few beers.... Are there any experts here that can explain why the factory would have used an alloy bolt in that location?
