Re: Drive shaft seat seepage
I suspect it is a drive shaft seal (and not seat) that has a slight oil leak. Have a look under the car where the drive shafts enter the gear box and see if there is a bit of oil leaking, also on your drive for oil drips. Wipe it off the gear box and see how soon it comes back to see how bad it is. if bad the seal will need replacing so the gear box does not run out of oil.

Re: Drive shaft seat seepage
PaulC5. (GiveMeABreak) - Your thoughts were spot on re my problem thank you. The drive shaft seal (Special Gasket) was leaking very slightly, in the first stages so we had both seals replaced also Geoalign check to the front and adjust.
Geoalign for those like myself who did not know is as follows, for those who may be interested:-
Laser Geo Alignment offers adjustment of 'Track, Camber and Caster*', this is the an advanced version of alignment which will not only set the vehicle to drive straight, but can allow adjustment of 2 further angles of alignment. If your tyres wear unevenly it may improve this.
