I did have some pics on Flickr but they are a pain to try and put on here but can try if your interested in looking.
Thanks Owen, no don't worry - the garage will be dealing with it anyway. I was wondering if it might be a simple shaft seal - but sounds like it'd be a dismantle job anyway which is not realistic tbh. I'll give FRF a call tomorrow to see what the damage is going to be for a replacement.
Hope you're well :-)

Cheers
Ian.
