Hello,
New to posting but have been lurking a while - originally because I was looking at Panda 100s. Anyway, my partner has a 500 and noticed that there was oil where it shouldn't be underneath. I've got limited skill with cars (in that I can service them and that's about it). I've searched the forums, YouTube etc. etc. and can't quite get the answer I need (there's a lot of responses asking people if they've searched the forum which is infuriating as that's what I have been doing but I digress...).
This turned out not to be a problem with the (what I think is) CV boot and I've read there is a seal/gasket here but that appears okay if you look where it meets what I think is the gearbox.
I got under the car this evening and saw this:
Looked again through the top and saw this:
So, I'm thinking it's basically the problem described in the thread below as a leak from the selector shaft. Would be good to confirm this before going ahead and trying to sort it. There appear to be two rods in the pic above and not sure which one is which... Alternatively, we just pay to get it done, any help with idea on cost would be helpful.

Many thanks in advance! :worship:
