gearbox leak!

[samfenna]

i have an oil leak on the underside of my gearbox, appears to be leaking on the join by the driveshaft, not from the driveshaft, but where 2 parts of the gearbox join if that makes sense. quesiton is, is this a gasket or can i just bung some sealer in there to fix it?
pics can be gotten if needed

Probably the gearbox seal just changed mine and its all done :) hope thatl be whats wrong anyway only a tenner to part and about an hour to fit if that :)

the shaft just slots in with out a gasget or sealant, was u ragging it ? just be a case that its popped out a touch

so i need to remove the gearbox from the right of the clutch? not the engine side

+ is there a guide on changing the gearbox seal?

I need to do mine but am putting it off as I assume its an arse of a job/box out job.

Be interesting to know if there is another way round it

im wondering i can just seal it upwith some sumpsealer etc..
sounds like a bodge but im on a budget here :/

no you need to remove the driveshaft not the gearbox

to relplace the gearbox seal? it looks like it isnt leaking from the driveshaft but the box itself
