Hi thanks is this a simple job, also best place to get part

would the seal leak if the oil level is to high

thanks

I think that's a breather - is your gearbox overfilled? Pop the filler plug out and see if anything comes out.
 
Thanks i will check that first, there is like a little nipple on the seal would that be the breather

Thanks
 
there are 2 seals under l shaped metal retainers one each side remove 2 x bolt of retainer to replace
 
Thanks, I have looked in the parts manual and not sure which part i need, i took the photo through one of the inspection holes on the side of the tunnel are the bolts the ones on the left which will be towards the front, thanks for your help
 
I'd agree that it is probably overfilled, I'm pretty sure that's the cover for the selector rods and shouldn't have enough oil in it to leak out of the top.
 
Thanks all,

i will have an other look, you all have been a great help, i will check the level tomoz as this landy is new to me

thanks again for you help
 
Check the transfer box level, too. And all the rest of them! Make sure it's the right oil 'cos that stuff bubbling out of the box looks a bit thin.
 
hi thanks
when i collected the landy the guy said that he had changed all the oil in the boxes the oil that is coming out is clear like new, i will check the levels

what type of oil should i replace it with

thanks in advance
 
Hi I have opened the filler plug but there is no oil present, I drove the landy with the cover removed and it leaks around the edge of the seal thing as the photo.

i have searched the internet and all the manuals and can not find a part number or a discription of the this part of the gear box.

Thanks again for your time
