advice on a sporty

Forum: 

I have just bought a sportrak (EL),G reg looks good all round engine is dry, however looking down from the back of the engine onto what i think to be the transfer box there is a good deal of oil all over, its being dripping onto the prop that goes into the first box with all the squares moulded into it, dont know if its the transfer box or the gearbox.Anyhow the prop will have thrown the oil all over,thing is where is the oil most likely to have come from the gasket on the transfer box perhaps, any ideas welcome,its a great little truck though,Happy new year to all who visit this site.

This COULD be the thing I had

This COULD be the thing I had, which actually turned out to be the rocker cover. One of the securing lugs had been fastened down too far in a previous life, fracturing the alloy casing so it did not sit level. Oil just poured from the back around the dis., and fell onto the box.

Worth a look. £163 inc.vat for a new cover though.......

Has Daihatsu ever made a car called the Grand Latte? Was it a concept?
