   Have a couple of leaks.
   Coolant is leaking from near top of block at the back, I just changed the water outlet so I'm pretty sure it can't be that unless pressure is building up from elswere and forcing it out there.
   Also there's alot of oil on top of the gearbox.
   
   Will be running it at weekend on axle stands to have a look but any ideas?
   Thanks

   Is the oil on top of gearbox engine oil or gearbox oil? If gearbox could be coming out of the breather

   Pretty sure it looks like engine oil mate

   cam cover sealing first one to check, the leaks from the head gasket. Its easy to get oil on top of the box though if you fill it through the breather and make a mess
