Automat leaking X2.5TD -98
« on: 09 June 2009, 14:26:47 »
Hi all,

So my trusty TarmacPlow is leaking automat oil. Leak is along the engine block/gearbox meet point.

Secondary symptom is sluggish gear changes, especially downshifting to 3rd accelerating.

From what I understand the shifting is due to low oil levels.

Root cause would be the thrust washer. ( Ref. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1183142571 )

Have I diagnosed this correctly? If not tell me your views.

Is there hope to fix this or just vise up and get a new secondhand one?

Cheers!

Sounds about right to me mate.
Don't (obviously) keep running it like this - get that leak sorted ASAP.

Probably front gearbox seal breaked.  Replacement one about £20.  Have to drop gearbox to replace.
