Mk3 golf issues... drive shaft ?

[Cable]

sounds liek shaft has punched a hole in the cv inner seal. cv grease doesnt smell all that much but gearbox oil has a very unique smell, cats wee is one way ive heard it described.  I'd get some new seals just in case, only cheap.

Does the clunking noise stop when you drive the box/accelerate and only make the noise when you stop accelerating/dip the clutch/rolling?

If so almost probably will be the gearbox; and the leaking oil could be a symptom.

I suspect the gearbox is faulty also.
