Gearbox leaking...first time

[flaku]

So u probably should put the video on MUTE, cause u definitely won't understand a word and maybe it will sound annoying. lol (another language)

So this is what happened.
Went out a night did a couple of donutsss and maybe i went a little over the top. :P
Then i started to notice each time i park and leave, that there was a spot of something, so i saw that i was clearly gearoil.
So i went to take a look and don't know if it's leaking from the back or if it's leaking from somewhere else.

Here is the video

Maybe U guys can give me some pointers on what i should be looking for thanks, i did do some research on seals that i maybe will have to change the tailshaft seal?
:newbie:

It looks like your lower shift boot is ripped, which causes a leak in that area. Tailshaft seals are not very common to leak. That boot is VERY common to leak. Pull your upper rubber shift boot out and have a look at it.

Tailshaft leaks are ridiculously common. I've gone through so many of them on various different chassis. However, I do agree with Racepar1, it's probably just your shift boot.

my tranny sat in my garage for a long time, and dripped out the green fluid.

Will take a look at the boot, if i change the boot and it still is leaking what maybe the cause of this IF this is the case?
I ask due that i have to order the part and it takes up to 2 weeks to come to curacao, so i would prefer to spend a bit more and obtain all the parts.

You can change your tailshaft seal as well, just to be safe. From your video though I can see fluid above the tailshaft on the back of the shifter base, which would be the boot. There's nothing else back there to leak unless you managed to crack the case somehow...

Having a leaky gear box isn't the end of the world, unless the Netherlands has ridiculously strict environmental rules. Both the shift boot and tailshaft seal costs somewhere around $20. If you're in a rush to get it fixed, its not a bad idea to order both and keep them on stock.

I agree with Jake... Why not order both seals to replace the damaged ones and ensure you have no more leaks in the near future. Good luck homie!
