Title: Astra J 1.6 A16XER, Oil above Manual Gearbox???
Post by: polilara on 28 June 2025, 13:17:37

So 2010 Astra J seems to leak Gear Oil from gearbox breather, what the hell is going on. Is the breather something you should change sometimes to the gearbox?

So, took the breather off, it was loose and tape around thread (if any) was brittle and broken. Put teflon tape to thread and tightened well. No leak anymore, hopefully job jobbed.

After three days teflon tape burned away and leakage was back. Now put GM black sealant (as used on Omega Cam Covers). Now dry again. Let's see...
