Leaky Gearbox Drainage Plug

[Calum122]

Hello,

I did an oil change a few years ago, but haven't actually driven the car since, but I've noticed oil seems to be dripping from the drainage bolt.

I'm guessing I was supposed to replace the washer.

Does anyone have the size of the washer for me so I can swap it out.

Thanks

Just whip it off dude think it's a 24mm socket. Might have a spare alloy washer in the garage somewhere

I would but then it'll leak more oil whilst I try to measure the washer.

I was hoping to just quickly swap out the washer.

A few years ago mate? I would definitely put fresh oil in for peace of mind and all that, then get a magnetic sump plug in 👍🏻

By the time you swap the washer you may aswell drop all the oil

Won't bother then. Don't drive the car so no point swapping the oil out.

Just sits on the drive rotting away.

Can you get magnetic plugs for these cars?

Yes mate comes with washer too 👍🏻
