Just wanted to make sure it wasnt engine oil. How do you know its gear oil? Have you done the sniff test?

No it's a 1.6 gearbox, a hole punctured in the gearbox casing due to a sheared rivet on the differential!
I need a 1.8t haha. Replacing gearbox today just waiting for the part. Good job it's pay day! Urgh
