Hi, From memory it made of alluminium so you may be getting it's form of "rust" and leaking. Think you need to clean it up well to see properly. There are a variety of metal repair pastes that may help. I assume it's not actually leaking from the drive shaft oil seal?

thanks any idea what the part is called in case i have to purchase one[img][Image: fillplug_zpsq1oppets.jpg][/img] the part thats leaking is in the black thanks

I would have thought that the part would be called the "gearbox end cover". I would buy a new gasket then remove the cover to fully inspect it (esp. the inside surfaces) for holes. It might just be a leaking gasket.

If its leaking where the black line is drawn looks like you need a new one,just nip it into a garage they will tell you
