GQ gearbox leak from bellhousing

[AB]

Very well could be wrong and although It's dark It's 100% gearbox oil, you can smell it. Gearbox oil was replaced April last year too which doesnt explain why It's dark.

Rear main was replaced with the clutch too and no shuddering on the way home.

I'll take it down the shed and have a proper look today as I just had a quick glance yesterday and blew the breather line clean.

Fingers firmly crossed but either way the gearbox is coming out

Just throwing stuff out there, not broken locker lines or Gear box breathers ,
Does your GQ have that spill plate for oil changes??

[AB]

No spill plate at all mate. I did notice some little chunks of dry mud come out when I blew the breather clean so very possible it was blocked.

Are you thinking that the blocked breather could have caused a pressure build up and pushed some oil through your front main gearbox seal?
Dont worry andy, i could run a small car off the oil that drips out of mine

Looking at the leak from here, it looks like it didn't seep but sort of gushed then stopped. I take it it stopped.
Shite been watching way too much CSI, Thats my theory. plus not taken on a big trip for a while.
think I like blocked breather or similar

That's exactly what I think mate, a lot of hard km's were done and possible blocked breather too. just confirmed rear main is fine and it's gearbox oil.

It's not really leaking much anymore. I'll drain and fill the gb degrease it all and see what happens!

Any updates on this AB? Did it turn out to just be a blocked breather?

I havent even had a chance to degrease it yet and check it out...lol.....Not my daily driver.

Plan is to clean it all up today and find out whats happening.

Thanks for the reminder....LMAO

So far so good mate. Cleaned it up and went for a drive today.

No leaks so far!!!
