3.0 Autobox Oil leak
« on: 04 September 2006, 17:14:18 »
Hi all, ive just found out i have a gearbox oil leak, its coming from the passenger side and ending up on the exhaust ( thats how i found out..... ahhh the smell of burning gearbox oil, yummy NOT) I just aint got a clue wat  steps i should take.

I tow a caravan around but wont be doing so anymore this year. So there wont be a strain of that.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks in advance

Firstly i think you're gonna have to get it jacked up and clean it down, that way you'll be able to see for sure exactly where it is coming from.   :-?

There is a How2 over on 'The OtherPlace' explaining how to remove the sumps and replace the gaskets and fluid, you can find it here.

A place to start anyway, could just be the gasket.

Is the leak coming from the front or the back of the Autobox?
