My F28 is leaking bits of oil. Looks to be coming from the back of the box near the mount. Plus, its quite difficult to get into reverse. Could it be the gear linkage? Also, how do you top up gearbox oil? Any help appreciated. Cheers

To top it up theres a plug next to the drivers side CV joint, about level with the top of the CV. Take it out and put oil in there until the oil is up to the level of the hole then put the bung back in.
Chances are its leaking from one of the driveshaft oil seals so have a look around there, they're not expensive to buy and not too big of a job to change.
Difficult to get into reverse does sound like a linkage adjustment problem as long as the clutch cable hasnt slipped

Mines leaking from the same place i just keep topping it up.
the filler is on top of the box i thought and the plug next to the cv is what you open to get the level right

you can do ot that way Daz but on mine with the ABS and chargecooler and battery its hard to get to, most gearbox oil bottles come with a plastic tube that can go in to fill it up from the level hole
