Mmmm ... what did the oil smell of again ?

well I guess the gearbox has to come out and the clutch replaced anyhow, so hopefully a good inspection should provide a definitive answer.

Good idea to replace the crankshaft seal anyhow . Hope its not the box seal, I dont know anything about them... Aidan is the man to talk too about boxes .

Wrong leroi she is still leaking engine oil!!!!!! kind of a relief really,will replace seals too.

Don't forget the o-ring in the flywheel too

well shes in being fixed!!! new complete clutch,crank seal with flange,spigot bearing and o-ring too,£200+ ouch but worth it. but considering iv had her for 8yrs now and this has been the biggest single spend i cant really complain eh,thanks chaps for input.

oh and new gear linkage too,so job done grand total £280 with labour rock'n'roll!
