Fluid under transmission and clutch making a squeal
Hi, I have a 2.8TD 99 Patrol.
I'm starting to have a few little niggly problems at the moment with the patrol.
The clutch is starting to make a squeaky noise when pushed in. I just went under the patrol to see what the problem is and spray some WD40 to see if that might help. (Didn't seem to.)
I noticed some fluid coming from somewhere underneath. It's under the transmission and over the oil sump.
I have attached some photos to show.
Just wondering if someone may be able to help me workout what may be wrong.
Yeah wont be cheap mate. Its a gearbox out job. Might aswell replace the clutch while your at it.
To give you an idea on $$$. I recently paid a shop to remove and refit the gearbox for a clutch. They ended up doing the rear main and a few other things and it was $1350, and I paid for the clutch already.
Oh rite. That's not good. I didn't think leaking fluid was going to be a cheap fix. I guess around the 300,000 km mark things are going to be wearing.
Thanks very much for your reply.
same issue, have a mate mech. we are going to give it a go, is the clutch change needed all the time or just for the covenience that its all off?
i suppose its like doing the timing belt when doing your water pump..
