    Gearbox oil leak

    I recenlty had a new gearbox fitted to my car and it has developed an oil leak.. I haven't had the time to look at the car properly yet, but wondered if it could have anything to do with the fact that my speedo has stopped working?
    I parked the car in my garage the night it stopped working and it has dropped about 0.5 ltrs of g box oil?!

    Thanks in advance

    Matt

    AS above drive shaft gator is most common culprit, hope the people who fitted it didn't round off the shaft bolts!

    Mine had annoying leak, decided to get the driveshaft gaiter changed (even though it didnt look like it was leaking),

    It solved the problem :D

    The other things to look at is gear selector or cracked case?
