I've got a suspected rear crank case seal leaking, as I thought it was maybe the engine with a leak, but its cleaner oil and smells a bit (which leads me + some others to think its the gearbox), therefore suspecting the above seal Anyone done this? I presume its a gearbox off job but I don't really know what I'm going at, never needed the box off before..? Cheers Flik |

Well I keep getting conflicting advice Its seems to be coming from the join between gbox and engine, but I can't tell at the moment as I can't get underneath it any better |

If it's coming from between the gearbox and engine it can only be engine oil from the rear crank main seal or gearbox oil from the front motion shaft seal Either of those will need the gearbox removing or as Lewis says from the rear prop seal on the gearbox that can be done in situ

Gearbox oil has quite a distinctive smell and taste it also usualy cleaner and lighter in colour than engine oil The only other thing it could be is a leak from the clutch slave cylinder that's mounted on the side of the bellhousing, check the fluid resevoir level |
