akyakapotter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You sure it's the crank seal and not the sump mine leaks well I think it dose but clutch hasn't been affected for the last 2 years so I'm being pointed to sump now it's a box off job pull old one out put new one in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza-Ben Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 I just assumed it was crank seal since it seems commen lol my clutch don't slip though but there's a shit load of oil that comes out that area and is getting worse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Check the sump area or just whip the boxOut then you'll be able to tell straight away. if its getting worse I'd do it sooner rather that later because it could contaminate your clutch then it's expensive Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rmsnoel Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If theres a drip of oil hanging off your gearbox its usually always the crankseal. A seal is like £5 from the local motor factors so your just paying labour.Use a good garage and get a receipt because if the seal is a poor fit you have warranty and if they dont TORQUE the rear gearbox mount bolts properly the box will split (another very very common problem) ECC in Ireland make a brace for it because its so common Quote Link to post Share on other sites
