Help Oil Leak!!!!!

[beatjunkie]

Please help got a small amount of oil coming from the "engine to gearbox tie rod bracket bolts''

Heres a pic you can see where the bolt is damp with oil:

What do i do?
New bolt and new washer?
If i take the bolt out will oil come out too??seems a funny place to get a leak from?

Thank you, Ryan

Wouldn't worry mate it took 10 years to get like that

yeah, you should see the state of mine

 

[beatjunkie]

yeah but surely shouldnt drip after a drive?i cleaned that area last week to try and establish where its coming from!!

So not major?

sump or rear main probably leaking a bit. Not worth the expense to sort that tiny leak.

 

[beatjunkie]

rear main?whats that mean please jay?

would that be the gear box leaking or engine sump, im stupid when it gets technical

Looks like engine oil, but I couldn't be 100% sure from a picture.
