Technical Leaky gearbox

[Dave Henry]

The 5 speed box that I have in my y10 is leaking like a leaky thing at the moment from two places. Firstly from the OS driveshaft boot which should hopefully be an easy fix?!?! The second is slightly harder to describe but I will try; will add a photo later.

If you look from the NSF wheel arch at the gearbox there are a number of bolts holding a ‘plate’ on the end of the gearbox. The leak appears to be coming from where this plate joins the gearbox. Is there a gasket that I can fit to solve this problem? Or is there another fix?

Any help would be great as I don't want to get it on the road with gear oil dribbling out.

Cheers

Dave

Liquid/instant gasket. They come out of the factory with it these days and it works.

I might try this, I have oil leaking from around that area too. Although, i think oil coating the underside of the car can only be a good thing for a panda

Thanks very much for this. I will clean it up and get some instant gasket on it.
