[MAFIA R33]

I recently put a short shifter in my r33 since i pulled the metal shifter plate off an fitted the shifter then re-installed it i've smelt oil so i checked under the gearboot an now i have gearbox oil up inside my gearboot and soaked into my carpet also i have a puddle of oil in my centre console, car makes 402rwhp an gets thrashed often what could have i done to make it leak? I used black gasket goo when i bolted. The shifter plate back into the gearbox

Did u let the sealant sit for at least 3 hours before driving ? Did u overfill the oil? Is it all seated back down correctly?

Would you by any chance be using Sikaflex? Cause if you are, there's your problem. Sikaflex melts under heat and will give way, you need to get yourself Permatex High Temp RTV Silicone Gasket Maker, available at your local supercheap for about $25 mark. It's in a plastic silicone tube with red print, so you'll also need a silicone gun as well. These are designed to do the job. Goodluck getting rid of the gearbox oil smell. I had it spill allover me and I smelt like shit for a good week even after daily showers.
