Did check the front breathers and the one under the rear vis and cleaned them out but they appears ok.
Cant get to the one under the rear on the battery side.
I have put a rear seal sealer oil additive in the oil called Rislone yesterday and low and behold the leak seems to have stopped even only after driving about 40km.
This product works by softening and swelling rubber seals, camshaft, rear mains etc and it appears to work.
As the car had been standing for about 12 months prior to me purchasing it, my mechanic reckons some of the seals may have dried out and being I have been quoted $1,000aud to replace the seal he reckoned it was worth a go.
It's going back to the vehicle examiners tomorrow morning re the oil leaks, still looks nice and clean with no leaks under there at the moment and I've been driving it all day so here's hoping !!
