Offside diff seal done this morning, no pics, no dramas. Tip: cable tie the driveshaft to the antiroll bar, it keeps it up & out of the way.
ABS/Brake wiring also done, offside actually took longer as I was forced to work in the corner of the engine bay, it had been repaired before!
Nearside turned out nicely, hidden behind the strut. All triple shrink wrapped.

Then, I ran the engine up to full temperature and ran the gearbox with the wheels off to check the seal and...pink drips on the sump!
The car has had a recent cambelt and waterpump by previous owner once removed, I bet the garage didnt fit a new sealing ring to the Death Pipe (or its a cheapo pump kit)
No sign of coolant running down the pipe from the thermostat end, definitely from behind the crankcase breather
