So your car is whining and you have oil on your driveway after the car has sat for a bit?
Am I right so far?
As said try and smell the oil and if it smells of cat piss its your gearbox so top it up.
Yes all cars use some oil and Clio's often leak a little engine oil but not usually so it ends up on your driveway so one way or another you have a problem, Have you checked your engine oil?

I think what they are getting at mate is use some grammar. Like full stops and commas.

You're an aircraft engineer and that is how you communicate? Please let us know exactly what aircraft you have worked on, because I'm sure nobody would be happy to fly on any of them.

I'm an mechanical engineer, working on bedding machines and to be honest, I would be worried about letting you loose on them!

Put some oil in it, also incase you're not aware you fill it through the hole on the side with the butterfly clip, not the breather on top.
I love stacky's threads, always reminds me of philosraptor pic that has the confusing sentance on it (sadly can't find it

I would top the oil up, tbh even if it was only 3/4 full there would still be enough oil in it to stop any real damage in most circumstances, obviously not ideal but not the end of the world. I have heard that in some cases gearbox's can run perfectly happily with only 1/4 full of oil, the nature of the movement moves the oil around enough to lubricate everything, the main issue I assume would be heat, or more precisely the inability to remove it, but i am just guessing!
If it had lost all its oil it would be very obvious, oil on drive etc...
My gearbox whines like a b**ch in 1st, 2nd and 3rd but has plenty of oil in it, I don't see it as a real problem and am not expecting it to give up any time soon, so I wouldn't worry too much.
