Leak from gearbox

[Fordy_87]

Just discovered a leak coming from where the driveshaft enters the gearbox on the passenger side, my mate thinks it could be the O ring or a seal inside the gator, could this be true?

Also went to renault today to ask about prices for 2 cv boots, a gearbox/driveshaft gator, and an oil filter and it came to about £150!!! Anyone know of anysite I could order them alot cheaper?

Have you got aftermarket suspension and how bad is the leak?

Vmaxx coilovers, and yeah the leak is quite visable!

Have you fitted camber bolts? If so how much camber have you set it to?

I assume it's dropped on it's arse too?

Wouldnt have a clue lol, bought the car about 4 weeks ago now, was already as it was. Errm its not dropped on its arse tbh, but i dont think driving through london for a few days hasnt helped with all the speed bumps etc

It could be a combination of too much lows and too much negative camber has just popped the rubber out of it's seating, enough to cause the oil to seap out.

You should check it closely tbh, have a good look at the rubber on the gearbox end and see exactly where the leak is coming from.
