Well after all my effort of fetching the engine and box out, new seals and gaskets, cleaning it all up and new fluids, it still seems to be leaking 😔
I used blue Hylomar on the gaskets to try and ensure it was sealed properly. Going through this process I can see what seals where, so I'm confused as to why is still leaking. And it's not consistent. It was dry for a few days, then suddenly there's some oil.
I'm not sure why it's still leaking. The only thing that I can think is the heavy duty bush at the bottom of the front of the gearbox, however I couldn't work out how this could be removed or sealed, and it never leaked from this point while it was sitting on my bench for several weeks with some oil still in the box.
I'll have to manage it and monitor it for now and try to take it out at some point in the future. Just a bit frustrating. Although I've learnt a lot about the car while doing this 😅
