Re: oil leak
the LEAK might be old oil and cleaner mixed and thinned by the heat of engine or as you guess oil seal around gearshaft , not a big problem to change at all , just get a sharp bradawl, and remove old seal, get new seal, and a tube socket to match size of seal and tap gently home, just as you would a wheel bearing dust cover .... hope you go ok

got seals on the case tomorow, i know seals are small but had concerns about their willingness to come out after probably 18yrs in situ thanks .carl h wrote:the LEAK might be old oil and cleaner mixed and thinned by the heat of engine or as you guess oil seal around gearshaft , not a big problem to change at all , just get a sharp bradawl, and remove old seal, get new seal, and a tube socket to match size of seal and tap gently home, just as you would a wheel bearing dust cover .... hope you go ok
