I was considering fitting an oil accumulator (accusump) as an alternative to the Apollo tank. Has anyone got any experience of these ?

Thanks for the responses, it's definitely the tail shaft. Its been suggested that the rear bush may be worn allowing a slight movement, and thus the leak. Any ideas ?

I've owned a 6 speed 1.6 SS for a few months now. The cars great and I've just put it to bed for the winter. The gearbox has a slight leak from the tail shaft, depositing a small pool of oil on the floor every time the cars cooling down back in the garage. No other problems with it though. Is this normal, I'm keeping an eye on the oil level, not much change so it doesn't seem to be leaking when the cars running. Is it worth worrying about or should I wait unitl something worse go's wrong. Box has done 10000 miles.
