Hi I have a tiny leak on my rear suspension gaiter near side, is this a specialists only job or do I go exploring?
If I need a specialist can anyone recommend a decently priced outfit near Walsall West Midlands please.

Re: C5 Mk1 Minor Suspension Fluid Leak
Is the leak from the gaiter, or dripping onto the gaiter from where the vent hose goes into the crossmember?

From the bottom of the gaiter dnsey
Re: C5 Mk1 Minor Suspension Fluid Leak
Pity- the gaiter must be split then.
Replacement isn't a specialist job, but removing the pushrod pin and wrestling the new gaiter on can be a bit tricky!
If it's just a nick, you could try degreasing the gaiter and adding a blob of silicone.

Re: C5 Mk1 Minor Suspension Fluid Leak
Mine leaks a little from the bottom on the near side. I believe mine is a weak clip, seems to only leak when on high setting and lifted on a 2 post ramp.
I have put a few cable ties on to help seal better.
