Upon removing the front prop...
This happened...

Id say from the amount that came out, the entire space between the the two flanges was full of gearbag oil.
I'm going to take a stab at guessing this isn't normal? (Though probably common)

Whats the likely cause/solution?

I'm going to have a look at the rear now.

The nut holding the drive flange on has a seal under its washer which prevents oil migrating up the threads. Perhaps this has failed or not been installed.

The back was leaking also. Im going to drop the box for a clutch change. Will check things over then.

Thanks for your help.
