Puddle of gearbox oil :-(

Oct 29, 2004 4 Replies

Hello people...



I wonder if any body knows how to fix this problem, and how much money/time it is likely to be.



This morning I noticed a puddle of gearbox oil on the driveway, on closer inspection it was leaking from the gearbox where the nearside driveshaft is 'connected'.



What seals are on this joint? and how do you replace them?



Many thanks Adrian


i had the same problem on my missus 306 spinnaker. it was the n/s inner drive shaft oil seal on the gearbox end.its quite easy to do split the bottom ball joint if you get somebody to pull from the bottom you can just get the driveshaft out pull out the old seal then tap in the new then refit. dont forget to drain oil first.

seals only available from peugeot dealer £6.50.

hope this helps

Thanks very much for the reply.

I hope it's this simple!!!!!

Thanks again!

Adrian

Check which side is leaking. The offside driveshaft is a little more difficult because there is an intermediate bearing on it which hes to be released. It is all well covered in the Haines book if you can get hold of one.
