I'm
Loosing fluid, but not sure where from, as the fluid is sitting ontop of the gearbox?

Any ideas on common places?

Cheers Davie, the fluid is all sitting ontop of the gearbox, so I can't see it being driveshaft seals.
Inspection plate again , would mean fluid on floor

if it the breather pipe then the cover would only stop some fluid not all of it, is the box overfilled?

What would you say is breather part number?

Also after the gasket for the catch pan and new bolts

Also looks like I'm missing part no 28? Looking at my first picture

To get the correct oil level, take out the bolt numbered 4 in the picture, when it stops coming out, it's got the right amount of oil in it.

Thanks mate.

I done the job this afternoon, just dropped the pan and emptied all fluid. Changed gasket and filled up
1.9 litres via the breather.

Hopefully leak sorted.

I was missing part 28
