Gearbox oil leak

[Danix60]

Hi,
Got a little leak from the gearbox, cleaned all the area and it seems to leak from here :

Any clue?

Yep, you can buy that seal.

Driveshaft off. Drain gearbox. Screw a self tapper into the old seal and lever it out. Use a roll of insulating tape/similar to tap the new seal in square. Fill gearbox. Fit driveshaft.

Hours work TBH.

they are 3 seals over there, wich one it leaking ? the big one ?
genuine renault isnt recommended ?

 

[Budgie]

Yep, big one there.

They're not genuine renault, no. Doesn't matter too much - it's not a pressurised seal. Mine did a good few thousand miles without leaking..

 

[Danix60]

so just remove the old seal and tap in the new one ? thats it ?

The seal is actually quite cheap anyway from Renault.

 

[Danix60]

Yeah, only 5-6gbp from Renault.

Replaced it with the genuine one, doesn't leak now

Just bringing this back from the past, we’re can you get the metal ring that on the drive shaft in the picture above?

I have a J&R shaft but that ring isn’t present.
