I've changed both driveshaft boots on both sides as they were tired and leaking a touch.
I couldn't get the filler plug out the box so I removed the speedo drive to get 1.1ltr of oil in.
I've had a look and there's a minor leak from the area dropping a couple of drips. Now I could remove the drive and fit a new gasket but it was in good condition and the drive to box is a well machined fit.
It looks to be coming from the cable fitting area which you tighten up to the drive thread.
So I ask is there an O ring or seal that has failed? I cannot see how the drive can not be oil tight without a seal....
