aaaggghhh HELP oil

[stainesy]

Just had look at puddle. Its browny colour and there's about a litre of it. Power steering level fine. And engine oil level at max. Not had chance to check gearbox oil yet.
Starting become obvious now. I recon its gearbox oil.
Fcuk sake my car has 3 hour left on ebay auction aswell.
Sod fcuking law.

well atleast i get to keep her now.
if it is gearbox oil what seals are there that could have gone?
also is it cheaper to get seal fixed or replace gearbox?

[stainesy]

sh!t if gearbox has oil leak im going to have to break her 
cant aford to fix that

Sounds like gear oil, might be a seal gone.

Check the gearbox level and top up then give the area around the box a good clean (pressure wash but not the engine) then drive it around and see what happens, i don't know if there is a seal on the mainshaft but thats usually where most boxes fail then leak in to the bellhousing.

[stainesy]

ok so if that is the case how much am i talking here to get fixed?
would it be cheaper to get another box or to have it fixed?
what everit is i looks like it dropped a litre or more oil over night

fcukit im starting to add up how much i can sell all my mods for already

If its just the mainshaft seal its a cheap part but a box out job, but if the mainshaft seal is leaking badly enough to drop a litre it could also ruin the clutch so better get on top of it sooner rather than later.

well the car is now not going to be used till i check oil leven and see where its leaking from then will stay in garage till i can aford to fix it.
if its a box out job then makes sence to put new clutch in and release baearing as mine always clicks.
so what we talking here? £400? or more?

It's not a bad job, like anything just make sure you have all the parts you need, a manual and the right tools and give yourself plenty of time to do it, most decent mechanics can drop a g/box out in under an hour.
