    Gearbox oil leak

    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!

    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
