Default XR4 Woes - Busted Power Window Motor & an Oil leak

Coming up to 5 years of owning our little XR4...

Been a gem up until last week...

One of the power windows has let go. Pulled the trim off to have a look, and the cog on the motor has broken. It looks be to held on with a cir clip - can I get a replacement cog somewhere, or am I up for a new motor? Anyone able to give me on a local lead - not keen on ordering from to UK as the car is now taking up space in the garage forcing me to leave my GTI on the street...



Also, noticed a drop of oil on the garage floor since the car has been in there - here is a photo?

Any ideas? Had the car 5 years, but not familiar on the geography under the bonnet/car. A lot more going on there compared to my old Fairmont.....

Hey mate, same thing has happened to me with the window, just wondering what the outcome was.

Cheers,
Rhys

had to replace the passenger side motor (which would have to be used 80% less than the drivers side) a few months and picked up damaged door for $60 and salvaged the motor as a whole
