I've managed to temporarily patch it up until I get hold of a replacement box, and the car drives perfectly fine. The gearbox started making a whining noise in 2nd and 3rd gear one day last week, and when I checked I saw the hole. The box wouldn't hold ANY oil at as the hole is at the very bottom of the casing, hence the noise.

Anyway, I'd be interested in your opinions. Thanks in advance. :)

Could be road debris. Have seen a cat's eye jump up and cut fuel line and destroy the rear wheel. IMHO it would take a hell of a stone. What are the chances that someone was a bit careless with a trolley jack? Any work done recently?
