Ahh I see
I'll check that as well,
What's the best epoxy to use any recommendations?
I've got some loctite si 5920 in the shed would that be of use at all??

Also the epoxy where exactly does it need to go?
Does it go around the yolk that fits into the seal?

I'm good with pictures if thats easier to describe it haha

Hi, there is no "glue"

There is a metal cap that is a "push" fit inside the yoke. This leaks oil.

People simple coat it in oil resistant epoxy. You can just about do this without removing the prop but its easy to pop it out and properly coat it.

Here are some pictures of a poorly done (but effective) repair - not done by me!

Yep thats what mine looks like,
Definitely the issue then,

What other tools would I need to fix it?
Just the bearing oil seal and some epoxy putty to seal it up as well?

Do I need a bearing puller ? Or not worth it
Also should I purchase some more gear oil ?
I have enough to top up but do I need to drain the gearbox to do the seal etc?

Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to start the job then. Not have all the stuff to finish lol.

As someone said. Make sure the rear of the car is higher than the front so the oil stays in the gearbox when you pull out the prop.

All you need is some spanners to undo the prop bolts. I would undo the rear as well so you can move the transfer box back a little bit to help
