[alfa] Leaking 105 gearbox

["David Rubie" <rubies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everybody,

Rusty the spider has developed a bit of a leak at the gearbox but I'm
having trouble determining exactly where the oil is coming out.

It seems to be coming from the bell housing rather than the rear
of the gearbox, although it could be dripping to the lowest point before
hitting the ground.

Ashamedly, I know bugger all about the 105 alfa gearbox having spent
most of my Alfa life staring at the Alfetta transaxle (of which I never
had an example that leaked more than the occasional drip).

Any idea where I should start looking?  I thought the two halves might not
be buttoned up together properly, or perhaps there was a front seal that
has died and is threatening to soak the clutch with gearbox oil.

Any tips appreciated.

dave.
