scotia900 · Jun 19, 2009

1982 series 3,
Just got back from a long run and discovered oil all over the gearbox and down to my rear axel, (no knocking or clunking) i'm gona have a cuppa then put me overalls on and investigate and check the levels.
Any links here or ideas where to start looking! Oil seals or gaskets?
she sailed thru her mot and I had the boys replace the oil in axels, transfer and gearbox yesterday.
they may have over filled her?

did you find your leaks last night, leaking does seem to be the norm, i reduced mine by keeping the bellhousing drain plug in, then every few months letting it drain into container rather than constant drip drip on the drive, a mixture of engine oil and gearbox oil can come out of here

I managed to clean the oil off the box, (its fresh gearbox oil) and the levels seem to be just a little low, before the rain came, (i'm in france), still cant see where its coming from, only had a slight leak before they did the oil changes, well at least the chassis wont rust!
