Hypoid 80/90..........as per the maintenance guide!

[sophos9]

Awesome, thanks for all your help - very much appreciated!

[sophos9]

Both gaskets, ATF filter and Fuchs oil ordered.... Ouch!

Thanks guys, will update when its all done!

All, asking for a bit of help here please.

The garage changed the gaskets and filter however I've noticed the gearbox is still leaking - its going back this afternoon.

The bloke in the garage is my mate, we had a quick chat on the phone and he said its strange as everything was done at the right torque - he did suggest that he glued the gasket or something like that? He also said that the box may be pressuring

Is there any common gearbox problems that lead to leaks so we can have a good look over when its in the garage please?  

Thanks in advance

There is a beather pipe from the top of the gearbox, towards the rear, which should run up to the back of the engine and be left open to the atmosphere. Worth checking that this is not kinked, blocked or incorrectly connected to something at the engine end. Often it gets mistaken for an engine breather.

Also, of course, have a careful look at the leak and make sure it is coming from the sump gasket and not somewhere else (fluid cooler union / selector shaft entry?)

Excellent mate, thanks for the pointer! I remember think what the hell is that breather when sorting an oil cooler leak... Is def not connected but cannot vouch for it not being kinked etc - Will be good place to check.

Will clean the box down and have a good look around.

I think I already know the answer but if the gasket is leaking again, its fooked right?

Thanks

Oh dear....
