just that by the look of the old oil everywhere the seal is leaking, which can be caused by the bearing/bush in there being worn

Everyone should hv a loop or brace by the looks of that.

Maybe it's happened before to the car for some reason, and they guy has put the brace in to prevent massive damage if it happens again?

i no he use to run it up the 1/4 a fair bit and the car has had a pritty hard life till i got it. (part from me snaping the tailsharft lol)

i thought you had to have the brace or you couldnt take it up the 1/4? or am i wrong?
