Gear Box Oil Leaking!

[gexenon]

I've got a R32 GTR (93 model) and the gear box is leaking fluid. I looked under the car and cannot see where it is leaking from exactly. It just looks like its sweating very heavily and there is a coating of fluid all over under the gear box and the line which goes to the rear of the car. Its not dripping out but definately leaking somewhere.

Is there a particular place where they usually leak from?

Thanks

wash it down, take it for a drive and then have another look...

u may have a split boot were your gear stick goes into gearbox and leaking down from there

Oh, that sounds like a pain to fix. How do i confirm that it is this? can i see the boot from the bottom of the car?

don't stress just yet. it could be fluid that was thrown out through the breather during hard driving with a full gearbox. clean it off. drive it for a week and see where it's coming from.

Ok, but when i leave the car for a few days, there is gear box oil on the floor, just a few drips.

just pop the center console around your gear stick and than there will be 4 screws that fasten a dust boot to the floor than under that is your gear stick boot which seals into the gear box mine split once and made a nice mess, would only really leak if i was givin it a thrashin, worth a check though

but if its coming from the front of your gear box than it could be front main seal but give it a good degrease and check that breather hose
