neonovice Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I have an odd issue on a 03 110. During a routine service we went to top up levels in the gearbox and transfer box. Transfer box was low, so topped it up. Opened gearbox plug and oil came p!$$!%g out. Oil seal methinks. We took off the transfer box and the seals look OK. I have ordered new seals, anything else I should look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Breather ok, not blocked? On the transfer box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Worth popping out the drain plug and checking for water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Was the gearbox warm when u took the filler plug out? That would be one reason for it come out the fill plug. Jad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Also a silly question but was the car level when you checked? or perhaps the car wasn't level when it was filled up in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonovice Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Excellent! So, thanks for the replies. To answer the questions; 1. Breather not blocked 2. Drained everything, no water 3. Gearbox was cold, had been parked for 2 days 4. Car was on a ramp when filled and when checked so pretty level. Having removed the transfer box it looks like someone had been in there before loads of silicone and buff marks on the faces. I have replaced the seal on the transfer side, the old one looked OK. Just waiting on delivery of the gearbox side seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
