I have one. :( Any favourite places to start looking? :-\
The leak seems to be coming down the back in that favourite place for all leaks. :( and it all looks OK at the rad end and the flexi pipes! ;)
TIA! :)

Pull the rubber plug off at base of bell housing and feel with your finger inside bell housing. If wet with atf you have a leak on gearbox shaft seal - cheap and easy to fix, but you do have to drop the autobox out :( Ideally need help plus a good trolley jack (car on ramps helps) - talking from experience it a heavy old lump, but easy enough to drop out, and refit.

Thanks dbug! :y
Sounds like the ideal 'opportunity' to take the sumps off and change the ATF and filters etc! :y
Can't wait!! ::) ;D

Change the o-ring on the tip of the shaft too! Had to do the sealing job twice because missed that little c*nt! :D

No offence intended but the c word is possibly a bit too naughty on this forum :y

its not that bad, just use a washing up bowl, one sump at a time, and then refill using a fence sprayer thingy.. :)
and you can re-use the filter,just wash it in petrol.

Not much James, it's just drips but I'm not sure how long it's been like it to be honest. :-\
I've been thinking about changing the ATF for a while now so I'll just have to get stuck in soonish I think! ::)
