Gearbox, wheel drive — external inspection for tightness (Mitsubishi Colt 4)

Possible places of oil leakage:

• The connection point between the engine and gearbox (flywheel seal and gearbox shaft seal).
• The junction of the two halves of the gearbox housing.
• Oil filler and oil drain plugs.
• The connection point between the drive shaft and the gearbox.

To find the leak location you should:

• Clean the gearbox housing with cold cleaner.
• Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
• Sprinkle chalk or talc on the joints and gaskets on the engine.
• After a long drive, jack up the vehicle and check for transmission leaks.
• Fix the leak as quickly as possible.
