just about any bearing shop will have what you need, just get the housing size, shaft size and depth of housing, call them up and het some hi temp seals, viton ones are best - used to sell this stuff for a living, hope it helps

iXNAY,

Are you dropping red fluid or black oil???

[iXNAY]

black oil but dont know when the gearbox oil was changed last going to drain it and see what colour it is first.

[TOMSUN]

If it's black it is most likely coming from the engine rear main seal... (I'm getting mine changed this weekend... fingers crossed). The gearbox has to be dropped to change it.

I hope this helps.

PS: How's the balance shaft coming? :D

Blah blah blah bitches................the lord said, just ask and they shall receive. When will we learn....come to the house of the ZOOM on Sundays and be educated! Listen to the Preacher of thy Staz!

Tom.....the fluid will always look black as it mixes with clutch dust.
Tranny fluid was sometimes used at Mits. but that was for people who had poofter hands and didnt like the original feel.

So Flav... how sure are you that it is NOT the engine seal???

Well Mr T......
I cant realy be sure, but the gearbox leak is something i see in nearly all the boxes we pull out. The rear main is hardly a problem...in fact i dont thinki have ever changed one! But there is always gonna be one leaking sooner or later. If you have a look at the back of the flywheel and its all oily then it will be a rear main seal.
