Yes this what it was, after getting down and dirty and unplugging the hole, it all drained out.

I’m pleased that you benefitted from my experience..

Drained the oil catch can, checked and topped up all engine bay fluids, checked and adjusted tyre pressures.

Checked diff and transfer box fluid levels - transfer box took 250ml, has got a leak from the intermediate shaft that I’ll have to deal with eventually

Checked the front and rear diff breather pipes for blockage and was able to blow through them easily ...

Just got the bad news.
Lower ball joint boots need replacing (knew about that)
Left number plate light assy missing (I knew about that too)
Rear left lower indicator lens cracked (I knew about that as well)
Underbody oil leaks degrease and determine source of leaks (I knew about them too but hoped they were not serious enough)

Now got to decide whether to continue or ----. I'm not up to taking out major units like endine, transmission, tc.
She's a great beast at only 340K km. Never had a 3 Amigos in 110Kkm.
Make a great Project.

Day 3 of drying drivers front floor out..
its like a direct line from god to my foot area...
in two areas,, looks like a splash zone in the centre of the floor mat, and then the river down the A pillar..
windscreen install is maybe 5 years old??

has to be a rubber-shrinking-gone-hard-thing cos all drains are ok...


and have these to install soonish.. had several squeals on first start during a "cold" snap..
and then something that could only be a belt slip,,
There is a good chance this will be my 3rd round at this,,

Senior members feel feel to correct me!

Just a thought if not the windscreen (which is seled in urethane, not a rubber gasket like in the old days) could the leak possibly be coming from the roof, esp the seals around the rear top glass in the roof?

rear sunroof rubber already resealed. I suppose I should do the front....
but there are no marks on my new roof lining... yet.
