Yea Mick,I do on occasions.Sometimes after a long run,say 500kms I'll
notice the bottom of the gear box is wet and once or twice there was spots
on the rear of the van & the mud flaps.
Then it dries up again and no weeping for months (me or the van)
The level of fluid doesn't seem to go down ( I check it each service)
but the fluid must come from somewhere.
I have Mobil Synthetic Gear Oil in my 5 speed for the past 100,000kms
I've got questions but no answers for you....Anybody else?

Cheers,
