Drive Shaft Oil Seal... Replacing??

[Craig!]

Well my freshly rebuilt gearbox leaks like kate mosses nose, and I'm not very happy since the car has never leaked any oil ever in its 82,000 mile life. But the big question is, can the drive shaft oil seal be changed with the box in place or does it have to come back out?

Should be able to replace it whilst in the car craig, but without looking at it couldnt really tell you, who built the box up for you like? didnt all seal get replaced when it had the lsd put in?

*EDIT*

Woohoo just found out you can do it by just removing the drive shaft cup, so hopefully all should be good soon.

Sorry to dig up an old thread. Was this an easy job to do on the car? Mines developed a leak from what looks like the passenger side driveshaft seal. I see yours is an Ibiza but the principle should be the same for a Leon.
