After finally topping up oil in gear box i enjoyed a couple of weeks of lovely gear changes before it returned to being a pig. looked under car and noticed oil all over the gear box. what are the likely places of the leak and solutions?
will have a proper look tomorrow when i've got more time
Thanks

if theres a lot of oil its probably cracked.

some seeps out ofd the nearside driveshaft gaiter and some more comes out the lower selector seal.

Check the seal to the engine, althoguh if the clutch isn't slipping this is prolly ok, level plug on the front, drain plug, the join tehre the 2 halves of the casing join, n/s CV boot isn't split
