Thanks for your reply. The auto box runs smoothly, but leaves a patch of gearbox oil when stationary. The wife popped it to the garage for me, which, and i quote "it's gearbox oil coming from the top somewhere", and not to drive the car is all they said. This in turn made the wife turn into some sort of raging bull with pmt. Im not sure who did the gearbox, but hunting onthe web i see there are a couple of pipes going to the top of the gearbox that should be tight and o ring fitted, just a thought, have they been fitted correctly? Any other clues may help if anybody can throw some light on the situation.
