Eggy oil :(

[Aluco]

I was putting my standard springs back onto my car yesterday and basically i couldnt get the bottom of the strut to line up with the bolt holes if you know what i mean ? :S

so i had to put a LOT of weight down on the wishbone to get it in it took me about an hour with a mate, anyway long story short my drive shaft fell out and theres eggy oil all over my drive it stinks and i feel ill and my throat hurts .

Anyone know of anything to get this stuff off my dads drive ?

Cars going to the garage tomorrow for them to do it properly because its currently on 1 standard front spring and 3 lowered springs

WINNER.

Try a patio/driveway cleaner from somewhere like B&Q.
Remember to refill you gearbox with oil, as you've obviously lost some when your driveshaft fell out.

gearbox oil smells rank. Its also a pain in the b**ch to clean too. Dont forget to top up as said ^

Will i be able to drive about 8 miles to my uncles garage ? he said i would be ok if i take it easy and i dont have any gearbox oil and i dont know how to put it in

I'd imagine if you take it easy, and providing you didn't lose too much oil, you should be ok.

patio cleaner and a jetwash, and a stiff broom to scrub!

wouldn't risk it tbh, how much came out? its easy to top up.

Let me guess only jacked up one side? Antiroll bar pushing up FTL

brick acid

Gunk driveway cleaner worked for me when I moved in.

Washing up liquid will be fine if worked in with a stiff brush and a decent jet wash.

As said, always jack both sides up so the other isn't working against you.
