i've just had my 1.2 punto (x reg) serviced (60,000 miles) . The work sheet has detailed some issues and i was just wondering if someone could tell me what they mean
it has a very slight gear box oil leak - does this mean the gear box will eventually break?
there is a slight blow from the exhaust? what is this 'blow' and will the exhaust drop off

Also how should the car last for? should i get over 100,000 miles out of it easy or are these problems that are cropping up signaling the beginning of the end?

The gearbox leak could be something as simple as a driveshaft oil seal - very cheap to buy - best to get it sorted as the gearbox needs its oil.
Blow from the exhaust - go to kwik-fit and get them to sort it.
How long should the car last for - depends on how well it is cared for mechanicaly and cosmetically.
