Re: Gearbox oil???????
Thanks. Yes it looks like that. Will I need a new plug or can you just get a washer or something? And how hard is it to top up the gearbox oil as it looks like I've lost a fair bit
Re: Gearbox oil???????
Drain plug is a taper fit so maybe not tight enough? If you buy the oil with a flexible spout, it's not too bad. Just fill till it starts to run out of the filler plug. Are you sure it's a gearbox oil leak, as gearbox oil is honey coloured, not black?
