output prop oil leak
Hi, I have a leak from the output shaft I'm guessing the oil is travelling down the splines.
There should be some sort of plug but can't find anything on the subject what size and type of plug fits?
thanks in advance.

Is it a T9
Theres a seal and a bush in the output housing,most people get away with a seal
Cheap enough off ebay but a pain to fit in situ
Do you mean the cap that covers access to the remote,that doesnt leak oil

It's the oil seal in the tale of the box you will have to remove the prop to fit a new one

I've removed the prop it's not the rear seal, its coming out of the yolk I'm sure I was once told that a welch plug is meant to fit
on the yolk/prop shaft.
this is the bit I mean was hard to explain so took it off lol, see shouldn't there be a plug of some description as the oil travels down the
splines in the centre?
Unless its meant to be like this and the gearbox has a bit too much oil in

Hi, just an update I fixed it, I made a bung with a glue gun i used a 2x 2 pence pieces and pressed the melted glue together to make a perfect size
light weight bung. I then cleaned the area till it was spotless and glued it in with oil resistant epoxy glue trust me I'm an engineer 
Changed the oil seal with a slide hammer and tent peg was an arse to get out! assembled it all and went for a big drive today and was bone dry job
done 
On a side note I'll be selling the car so keep an eye out
