Auto diesel p38.
Gearbox oil is leaking from the bell housing. It looks like it’s coming from the drivers side near/or the rubber bung about halfway up. It still goes in all gears and drives with no slipping.
Anyone had this problem.
Is it gearbox out and replace a seal or new box time.

If the gearbox works just do the seal. In the meantime make sure the oil level does not go too low.
