Just got of phone to dealer, most probable cause for leak is a bolt in seal around nose of converter which i will order on friday (payday) at a cost of £36, now just got to find time and a dry place to do the work.
And many thanks to all for you input on the matter,

no probs mate its possibly my own fault, i didnt replace the o-ring when i replaced the box 
, its been perfect up till last week when we got down to -14C last week, then dumped trans oil on floor when i started it to warm through before work, been leaking since, so rather than wreck another box ive been walking to work .

Problem is the gearbox is still in car, i wanted to get all bits before removing it, need to get this sorted as last time this happened it dumped all trans fluid and cost me a replacement box from Albitz, id rather not do this again as you can imagine.

Hey all this is probably a long shot, but would anybody happen to know the size of the o-ring on the end of the input shaft that joins with the torque converter, mine has frozen and split in the cold weather, 
If anyone knows the answer to this ill be eternally greatfull.
Many thanks

Omega General Help / Re: Aux belt + Tensioner change
« on: 18 January 2013, 16:32:24 »Ive taken note of the comments here and canceled the order, now got one comming from my local suplier at a cost of £61 made by SKF, they said there a good brand,
but as said, you only needed to buy the roller
Yeah i know, my local parts center has no listing for just the bearing roller ad the guy needs the car ASAP and was prepared to pay the cost, so that is what i will do, i did try to tell him otherwise,
On another note, does the belt on the 2.6 route the same as on the 2.5, if not has anyone got a copy of the routing diagram please?
And once again many thanks for prompt replies
