99 1.8 Leak between engine and transmission - BeNn
Hello,

I recently (march) had a new clutch fitted to my 99 1.8 mondeo. It is going back the garage tomorrow so they can have a "look" and "listen", but I am just wandering if anyone has experienced the following and these are related to the clutch replacement?

1) There appears to be a oil leak on the underside of the engine where the transmission and engine meet, not a huge leak but enough to be of concern. Is this a major problem, will it require the gear box to come out again?

2)When reversing with full lock (more often to the right), as on the biting point there's a grinding noise, it sounds more like it is coming from the wheels than the clutch.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!!
