as above oil is leaking from my gearbox, tried to top up today but .75l didnt seem to go far.
took a picture of where the leak is coming from - is this part of the gear linkage ?
Any suggestions how I can stop the flow ? thanks

I've yet to see one that doesn't leak, Renault even fitted a drip tray as standard! :roll:

My 16v doesn't leak one drop of oil, never has.

I leave it on the brand new drive and if it did my step dad would let me know! :o

In the picture above were the oil is leaking from . On my car that bar
can be pushed in and out about half an inch is that ok or should it be really tight ...

I have put some gearbox stop leak in as well at the weekend and it seems to be helping reduce leak
