   So I changed my clutch at the weekend and used the top breather to fill the gearbox back up with oil, so now 4 days after I did it there's a serious amount of oil leaking off the gearbox onto d/shaft bottom arm and so on (when I say serious I mean 3 separate drips every 20 seconds) I presume it's the breather as how else would oil be sat on the top of g/box unless I spilt it? I know it's not the drive shaft seal,
   
   My question is has anyone had this problem? And why would it leak 4 days after I filled it? My dads playing fuck about his nice drive at moment

   it'll get runny as the box gets hot though, can you see it coming out of the breather?
