You ned to at least top the gearbox oil up and check it regular if you want to keep driving it... or it WILL become expensive..

Aidan Talbot should be able to supply a set of seals if that all it is.. but sometimes the seal leaks coz something else is worn too.. check the output shafts are not moving around... if they are you might wwant to speak with Aidan about a refresh....

Andy, is it a 4 or a 5 ? 4's are relatively cheap if a straight swap for 'the sale' would be preferable.

You know you have more than enough friends (including me) who'd gladly help fit one for you.

If it is only the seal dead, why swap a box for a seal.....???
