ive got an oil leak from my gearbox, noticed it when i left is parked on the lighter coloured flags on my drive.

upon inspection it seems to be coming from the top end of the box, where the gear lever linkage goes into the gearbox. the oil is running down the gearbox and the pool under the car is quite big. its not literally pouring out but the underside of the car, gearbox and front of the prop is manky.

is there a seal up there that can be replaced without having to remove the box? can it be accessed through the cabin by removing some kind of plate?

i havent had the carpet up yet but would be nice to sort it out for the MOT after a good degrease and jetwash.
