Hells teath !! I can't say what that is, but whatever it is, get it to a garage asap :eek:

I can not really afford to....i am only 20 she is my baby my dad says scrap it!!!

Have you checked your oil levels? Does it appear to be loosing oil? I can't see where an oil feed will be running near your legs...... are you sure its not something else? coolent maybe? from the heater matrix? that would cost you £50 from a scrappy to fix... no worries....... (or just keep topping up coolant and ignore it!)

its coming from behind the spedo and driiping down onto my leg and peddles..

I've heard this one before somewhere??? wasnt it oil finding its way up the speedo cable from the gearbox or the likes?? I will have a search and see what I can find.

EDIT: Yes it is seemingly that your gearbox breather pipe is blocked.

Previous thread on it here: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/felicia-fun-forman/dash-board-oil/56894/?highlight=oil+dripping+speedo

Hope that helps.

Or it could be that the car fancies the pants off you and dribbles every time you drive it...........????? :rubchin: :hilarius: :sofahide: :nut:

Terrible I know but look at the time I posted this.................

Blocked gearbox breather.

Echo?

Thanks for your help. This happened to me a year ago and my garage replaced the speedo cable and some seals. At least it was better than the other garage who quoted £300! Any way it's happening again now so I will show my garage what is said about the breather pipe.

You were right, the breather didn't turn at first. I gently twisted it and it now turns. Should that stop the problem or do I need a new breather part?
