drive shaft question urgent help needed i think lol

[kornnut106]

hello today i managed to pull the drive shaft out of the gear box just a bit enough for a small amount about 3 table spoons full of gear box oil , when this happened i quickly pushed the drive shaft back in and the leak seems to have completely stop.
My question is -

will this matter much ie will i keep losing oil or will it be ok
have i damage the seal
or is this just somthing that might happen but will be ok

thanks in advance
haynes manual states be carefull not to pull out the drive shaft, but dosent tell you what to do if you do, and i cant seem to find a answer to this on the www.

Should be fine, no more leaks, then no more problems

Also, how easy was it to get out, been meaning to do mine for ages! (passenger side).

Its better to check the oil level, if it drained a few oil probably its not on where it should. Haynes manual help you doing this job, its quite simple...

good luck!

thanks for the replies, as for the drive shaft i didnt want mine to come out ....(thats how easy it comes out lol) , i was replacing the whole wish bone, however the drive shaft would have just pulled straight out easily mines an 2004 megane 1.5dci,iam not confident on topping up oil but can pretty much repair everything (i know lol) if i know whats wrong lol , anyways the only thing you might find difficult is seperating the ball joint from the wishbone after thats done eveything else is easy, just rember to grease the cv shaft that goes into the hub and dont forget to put back the abs sensor holder on the ball joint anyways thanks. Just my thought.... the Haynes manual sucks for this car
