[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 47359, member: 597"] Fill the gearbox with one liter of 80w/90 hypoid gearbox oil, usually just touches the bottom of the dip stick. One most common leak is out of the bushes between the G3 main shaft and the output shaft G4, namely the G17 bush. If you gently bump the bush in slightly and fit an "O" ring into the gap and the G26 spring cup will hold it in place and slow the leak somewhat. A proper lipped seal can be installed, but requires machining whilst the shafts are out and in your hands....not what you are wanting at this stage....but the O ring will help.....cheers......Greg.
