Hey there,
I'm trying to get my Hilux (imported from QLD) registered in WA and it failed the pit inspection because of oil around the drive line (photos attached). The actual wording was:
Drive line - engine - clean and rectify all oil leaks.
There seems to be a significant oil leak between the engine and clutch housing, and I think someone has jammed a sponge of some sort between the two, at the bottom of the assembly, to maybe soak up oil to save their driveway or pass an inspection in QLD. No idea really, but I'm pretty sure it's not meant to be there. It falls apart when you touch it.
Can anyone tell me whether the sponge is meant to be there (sorry for my lack of knowledge in this department)? If it's not and I clean it up it's just going to fall off. I suspect the car will fail the inspection again?
