Title: Manual transmission leak
Post by: MKVASMR on March 15, 2024, 05:28:05 pm

I was doing some work on the car the other day and I’ve noticed a decent amount of oil all around the gearbox. I was in there around 6 months ago and everything was dry. 🤔 Does anyone have some clues before I actually wash everything and monitor for new leakages?

Looks like it could be leaking from the drain plug  of the gearbox.

Yep, as above.
