Has any one heard of this before?
My old man has a 96 p38 DSE manual Rangie (110,000 miles), after struggling to get it into gear at a junction he limped it home only to find a large pool of creamy gear oil underneath it!! On investigation this oil was found to be coming out of the gear box breather pipes located in the engine bay next to the brake fluid reservoir. It seems that the transmission oil cooler has failed and let the coolant flow into the gear box and out through the breather pipes!! This has also contaminated the clutch as gear selection is very difficult. The rad top up bottle has the same creamy fluid in it. Has any one experianced this before? and what is it like to fix? cost? time involved?
Cheers
