Oil leak from the central part was created by joefull
I noticed in my jimny 2006 with keypad, a loss of oil in the middle that is poured on the muffler, reading on the web shows that the loss comes from the tree, being hollow, spread from the cruise; You can explain in detail how to intervene to seal the shaft? perhaps with a step by step guide !! what kind of sealant can I use? how to mark the tree when disassembling not to unbalance him? To the mechanic is the seal, but I realized that the problem is very common and does not solve anything by replacing the oil seal, but we must intervene to siggillare tree mouth of cambio.E 'a simple job that I can do it myself? Sorry for my English and my tongue is Italian

Sorry but your explanation is "double dutch" and I cannot make out what you are trying to say.

He's on about the VVT gearbox/prop oil leak. The "tree" is the U/joint.
I would have thought 2006 is too early for this fault. It appeared around 2008

The glue used is epoxy. I think in Italian it is (epossidica)

Sorry again for my English, the problem is just that, with silicone can be sealed?, We drain the gear oil before you take it apart? I read that Suzuki has replaced the tree out of warranty, you can?

Just replace the seal.
Your car (2006)is too early for the problem.
If you want to do it anyway ??
loosen exhaust
Drain gearbox oil
Remove shaft.
You do NOT take apart the TREE or in English UNIVERSAL JOINT

He has used EPOXY (epposidica??)
Also replace seal in gearbox

Suzuki will not replace it.
