New 5-speed gearbox leak

[jeffi]

New build Roadsport SV with 5-speed box - with slight leak from where prop enters the box. It's about 1 drop every few days - so not serious but enough to be noticed on the garage floor. Is this common with these boxes?

 

Cheers

It shouldn't leak. When not in use there should be very little oil that high in the box so not much to come out - but when driving you'll maybe lose a little more (you will see it sprayed around the tunnel if it does leak). Mine leaked a little when new and CC ended up changing the box and propshaft to resolve it - I home yours is simpler than this to fix.
