mcc1979ian Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Ok so I have my old girl in the garage at the mo for a gearbox oil leak. The mechanics just been in touch to say they have done all gaskets and seals but it’s still leaking within the bellhousing area somewhere and covering the clutch but he thinks it’s only happening when the oils hot. As such he can’t find any leak. Could it be a pourus gearbox block or are we missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I’d be wondering what type of oil it is? Is it coming from the engine or the gearbox? Just my tuppence worth 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dailysleaze Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Clutch fluid can be the other suspect (slave cylinder). If the inside of the bell housing wasn't cleaned it mixes and looks like engine oil when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcc1979ian Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 The oils very red like Gear oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC_ Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 ATF.....it’s getting out of the gearbox then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcc1979ian Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 That’s what we’re thinking but if you leave the box sitting full of oil it never leaks but once it’s in and run so obviously oil is hot it sprays oil everywhere but when you remove it it’s not possible to see where it’s come from. It’s had front seal and gasket and is still the same. At some point in its life it’s also seen extreme heat.
