Hi guys,

I'm picking up what I consider to be a bargain at the weekend.

He has said there is a slight leak of atf fluid from the gearbox.

I know it's a long shot as I haven't seen the car yet, just wondering if this is an expensive fix?

The seller claims it's just a seal that will need replacing

Might help if you give us some clue as to what the car is!

If it's a manual, it's usually the selector shaft seal that's gone. Had mine recently done.
