well, I don't know what that specific plug is for but it's kind of beside the point because whatever the fluid is will be coming from somewhere else and ending up there.  It's 2wd, right? And auto or manual?

Up high on the engine the only real leak points are engine oil from the cam covers or breathing, or coolant.  There are also breathers for the gearbox at the top bolt between the engine and gearbox, and for 4wd transfer case at the same point and front diff under the intake plenum.

Leaks you should sort out, breathing is not worth worrying about too much, particularly if you just filled/overfilled something.

Hi Duncan , thanks for your reply .
It's 2wd /auto . Rb25det Neo . it's definitely auto Trans fluid being pushed up the harness (capillary action).
When the grey plug is disconnected the car runs just like normal with no lights popping up on the dash .
My mechanic isn't too keen on problem solving the issue , so it looks like I'll have to book it into an Auto Trans specialist .

Cheers

If a "mechanic" has looked at it I suggest you find a new mechanic :)

Assuming they are right about it being auto trans fluid, there are a few and easily checked places where it could be leaking from. Keep in mind auto trans fluid and power steer fluid look the same so the source might be mis-diagnosed

Definatly not power steering fluid as the rack and the pump are clean as , just getting drips coming out of the harness.

Just checked the dipstick on the gearbox and it's way over the cold mark ( car is cold) so that could be half the issue ?

I'll take it to a Trans specialist tomorrow and report the findings !

I'll keep on searching what the grey plug is for ...the black plug and red plug in the pic are dry when disconnected.

Thanks for your time !

Yeah the tranny was drained about a month ago then topped up ...have cleaned the connection on the grey plug with brake cleaner 3 times and fluid is still being forced out of the pins ...I'll get a second opinion from the Auto Trans guys tomorrow and see what they say ...

Thanks mate

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
