New Oil Leak

[Modena]

To my shock today I discovered an oil leak in my R33.

The oil is leaking out at front right side of the car... next to the front wheel where the stabiliser bar is.

is this serious??? Its clear colour oil... not yellow or brown. Its also thickish not thin like usual car oil.

Any help?

More info plz!

Can I still drive? How much to replace? Big problem? Im newbie at this...

you can still drive it. it will affect your steering and braking.

its not a huge problem, but its a good idea to replace it.

i replaced a set on a friends r33 a few weeks ago.. the new bushes were about $160 from noltec (part number N81707). you should go talk to your mechanic about having them fitted as you need some specialised tools.

I have a mechanic who could do it... 160 for pair or for one side only? also would it be best to replace both sides or just the one faulty?

thanks!

Also is this covered by warranty? I have warranty on the car...
