Gear box oil finish

[Mr_323]

For the last 2-3 months
My gearbox oil has been running out
I have to re-fill the thing like every 2 weeks
Any suggestions?

The seals where the driveshafts enter the gearbox may need replacing. take a look underneath the car and look where they enter the gearbox. You should be able to see oil everywhere if that is the problem.

The seals arent expensive to replace but will be a tad expensive on labour

Also check the inside of the bellhousing, if the input shaft seal is leaking in that area you'll likely want to get if fixed ASAP before it trashes the clutch as well.

its not leaking alot, just a little,
(The seals where the driveshafts enter the gearbox may need replacing.)
Fixed that, and it still leaking, and its not leaking from there.

ill just wait and see what other people think the problem might be
and tell my cousins about it, his a mechanic,

thanks for the reply guys

spray your box with degreaser and clean it all, then take it for a long drive to warm the oil up properly. Then park the car overnight or for a few hours with a tray or some carboard under the whole front of the car, and that will give you a clue at least where it's leaking from :)

The only other thing I can think of is a cracked case :? or their is a loose bolt in the case where it has been serviced before

chances are that if its leaking a little bit now, in a few weeks it'll be leaking a whole lot more. - I'd get it checked out ASAP just to be safe.

porous casing?

Weeping welsh plug somewhere?

weeping fromt he drain or fill holes under use?

poor quality juice in it that's boiling out?

Blocked breather pipe that makes it 'blow' the oil out when it's hot? (seen this a lot in 4wd diffs and gearboxes)

I like Rupes' idea. Find the source of the problem, it removes a lot of guess work.
The ASAP thing may also save some money.

I was told to mix the gearbox oil. Like 50/50
Im going to drain it out next weekend. What oil you guys/girls recommend me to use?

[Cosmo Dude]

I would top it up untill you have the problem fixed, please fix it before geting too concerned about its lubricant.
