Our Punto Active has developed an Oil Leak which we believe is leaking
around the clutch.

We are convinced it is engine oil but are not sure which seal could
have failed.

Has anyone expereiced similair problems and if so, which seal was at
fault and was it difficult to repalce.

I presume you mean oil leaking from the bell housing? if so and you are sure
its engine oil not clutch (ie brake fluid) then its either the crankshaft
rear oil seal (bad) or the block itself is cracked (very very very bad!)

Might be time to get rid of the car, unless you feel like removing the
gearbox, clutch, flywheel, sump, well you get the idea...
