    Thought it may be of interest to people to see what happens when oil leaks through triple seals and goes straight down bottom of shaft to where centrafugal force immediately shoves it past the dual mass flywheel seal and into the void behind - where all the grease lies.
    This one is interesting in as much as the oil hadnt mixed too much with the grease yet due to stopping driving straight away.

    Reminds me of my flywheel when I did it. I also had transmission oil as far back as the big flywheel nut. Yes, the oil and grease do not seem to mix much. This is probably because the Kluber grease is based on "silicone oil and a calcium soap", as I have read.

    I have seen that.
    I have also seen a case where ALL the grease left the building and the voigh damper is bone dry.
    Both are bad.

    MD Clutches (UK) - there is only one place to go for your clutch/flywheel.
    Andrew made me a custom flywheel for my 360 was well.
