At the bottom of the bell housing is a small hole with what looks like the tail end of a cotter pin sticking out, there's always been a drip of oil there.
Last week, I drained and refilled my gearbox with fresh 30w oil as a precursor to filling with Redline MT90. I warmed the car up and got under it to drain the gearbox and overdrive. At the same hole on the bottom of the bell housing, there was a drip of the fresh 30w.
I don't have much experience here, but this leads me to believe the front seal on the gearbox is compromised, am I right in this assumption? Are there other possibilities? What are the implications?
