So did you top up the gearbox with oil or did you top up the clutch master cylinder with brake fluid ?

i topped up the engine oil & noticed it leaking between the engine & the gearbox. i have just had it towed home & have noticed all the clutch fluid has run out of the cylinder which was full the other day when i checked everything
What engine and transmission mate? How fast is the engine oil running out? Does the clutch have feeling after topping up the clutch fluid?

Sounds like your clutch slave cylinder is leaking.

Well panther it sounds like you've done a rear main oil seal on the engine . All that oil leaking has maybe damaged your clutch componentary.

Could be the bush in the top of the gearbox just coincidentally broken. Pretty sure its just a plastic bush. Lost mine when i had the gearbox out the second time haha. Still drives fine. Just sloppy

have to get clutch fluid tomorrow as its 8pm here. i will top it up and bleed it & see what happens. as for what transmission & engine i can tell u its a 5 speed manual & engine is a turbo diesel. if you need any other details i will have to look at the vehicle tomorrow. i will post what happens when i have put clutch fluid in. thanks everyone for your input
thanks to everyone for your valued input. turns out it was the clutch slave cylinder leaking & all the other oil was what had squirted out from the dust cover boot on the slave cylinder. what a job that was , you need rubber arms to get your hands up in some of them spots lol. once again this site has saved my butt & a lot of money
