  1. Hi everyone, I own 2016 Skoda Superb 1.6 TDI - car has approximately 46k miles on the clock. Recently my car mechanic (independent) had been changing oil (I do it every 10k miles) and discovered, what it seems to be - an oil leak which seems to come from some seals in the driveshaft. Pictures that I have taken after my car mechanic had changed the oil in the car: As vehicle is still under the manufacturer's warranty - I went to the local Skoda's dealership for the inspection. I was told that everything's fine and they have not found anything that would concern them and that there is definitely no oil leak (I was told it was completely dry underneath the car - which is not what I have seen there). And the story goes on. After approximately two weeks - I had to change the brake pads, so went again to my car mechanic. This is what we found after removing the driver's side wheel: I went back to the dealer to tell them that there definitely seems to be some leak - you can guess what the response was - no oil leak whatsoever. I was informed that this is a moisture (interestingly enough - an oily moisture :)?), as driveshaft - quote: "breaths" and according to the dealer - all of those cars have these. Service manager said that Skoda's car mechanic had shown him another car that very same day with lower miles and the same symptoms occurring and according to Skoda - this is perfectly normal. My dad has some Skodas in the company that he works for in Poland and went to dealership, where he talked to service manager who said that if the car was diagnosed by them - it would not leave the service until fixed as according to guy in Poland - it does definitely qualify for repair. It seems different dealerships have completely different standards (I live in Northern Ireland, UK), although representing the same car maker? I would appreciate feedback and advice what I can do in this situation. What would be the best way to get this fixed and how do I go about making a complaint about it? Thank you very much guys.
