V70 R AWD well now only 2WD as the propshaft is F@@@ED

Hi all, just a quick line to say Hello, My names Jon from Somerset I've got a V70 R AWD(1997-98) P1,(LPG conversion) Well here goes, may as well jump straight in I need a bit of help....
Did an oil change the other day and now have Oil §§§§ing out the Oil cooler hose Mmmm wasn't there before any ideas and although it's a AWD I only have 2WD as I've had to take the prop shaft off as it was making a clanking sound, front CVJ bust and centre mount shot also any Ideas. Apart from that it's great.....

many thanks, Johnny

As above, you can get a second hand prop, or you can get them reconditioned. Cost was about £150, but that was a few years back now.

Seems that these AWD 'R' models are complete nightmare when they break down.
