Still doing lots of checks, but last night decided to drain the gearbox. Took the drain plug out and ended up with both the plug and a piece of metal (see picture).
This morning jacked the car up higher and found TWO holes into the gearbox. One obviously is for the drain plug, the other I have no idea about, but it could explain why the underside of the car is coated in oil
The second hole does not have any signs of a thread cut into it
I cannot see how to make the second hole oil proof unless I resort to some drastic measures.
So oil change is on hold while I see if I can come up with a solution.
Anyone know of a 'fix' for this ?.
BTW the car is a 7 Tourer of 1933 vintage.
