Andrew,

I have been following your parallel (illustrated) post on Facebook as well as the one you have here.

Are you certain the oil is coming from the gearbox? It is quite common for Austin Sevens to leak from the flywheel (lack of) seal, this manifests in a small pool below the gearbox every time you stop the car.

A test would be to fill the gearbox with fresh clean oil, drive and then check the spillage - if black it will have come from the engine side. If clear, the gearbox.
