Whats this?

No sorry mate that grease or oil from the diff.

Wonder where the screen wash is escaping then...

Are the carpets in the rear footwells wet by any chance? I can't remember which side but when I was welding my sills I checked for wiring behind the carpet on the inside and noticed the rear screen washer tube is there as well. If there's been any welding done it might be melted or it might have been frozen.

Noticed a similar thing with little "ooky" .. shunting the cars around last week, I put the Jimny up onto some bricks (just the front nearside at about 30 degrees). when I moved the cars back, I was rewarded by a large oily dribble on the drive. looking underneath, it appears to be from the same area, although now she is parked on a flat surface and also standing on cardboard to soak up any more discharge, its stopped and hasnt leaked any more.

Might just get the Kingpins and the wheel bearings on both sides changed as a precaution over the next few weeks.

No welding that i know of... I will have a look this week and see if i can work out where the screen wash is going.

my rear washer jet leaks water when she is parked on any incline ... I removed the pipe from the pump and blocked the pump outlet to fix.

Could this also cause the wheel the "lean"? noticed today that the passenger front wheel is leaning, negative camber... will check for play tomorrow.

Yeah but it could always have been a poor job

Get some apple scented screenwash from Halfords and if the leak smells like apples your car is fine.

So could the kingpins being worn cause the wheel to be leaning?

Yep, but it must be quite bad if you can spot it by eye.
To make sure jack up that wheel (jack under the axle) grab the tyre top and bottom and try to wiggle it, if there's any movement at all the kingpin bearings are gone.
cheers,
John.

Yea mine did that too when I parked it facing uphill. I just assumed that it happened because the jet was below the tank and the fluid simply drained out.

Does it happen if you park facing downhill then ? (I'd go out and try it for myself, but my Jim is 130 miles away)

I will check as soon as it stops raining... is it ok to jack on the axle then?

Ive ordered the bearings from the BigJimny shop. Read a few posts on here saying that the How-to is a bit out of date and you dont have to remove as much as it says.

How much Diff oil do i need to replace the oil in the front diff?
