Anyhow Aiden will be along shortly

Perfect, thanks mioba I'll check it out 

Hi All, So long story short it was gearbox rebuild in the end   :cry:  Was riding dry and that did it. Question about seals. My mechanic struggling to source them. According to them engine side and spigot bearing seals is needed. They tried Heritage Centre but no luck.  Anyone knows part number etc?...

If the clutch is slipping like mad then its proabably soaked in oil so replace that with a new one as well. The engine main seal is probably shot or the input shaft seal on the gearbox could have gone, but youd get a fairly rancid smell from the oil if that was the case as trans oil stinks. Thanks ...

Ah ok thanks for that silverbullet and mioba

Will clean it up just to make sure before taking to the garage. I think I'll leave to professionals this time.

Clutch is slipping like mad, I guess could be well oiled by now?

Searched through Google lense. It comes up with motor starter pictures which makes sense shape and location wise.

Posting on a phone at the campsite. Will try to work out photo upload when back home

Cheers

Could someone enlighten me please. Van started leaving a little puddles like a puppy before toilet training. Happens after a longer drives. I've narrowed it down to a black cylinder under the engine. Would that be an oil pump? Clutch is on the way out anyways so it's good opportunity to do both. Tha...
