Gearbox Leak (i Think, Pics Inside)

[GTAAAH]

OK so i got a r32 GTR other day (1993) and the gearbox is leaking (i think)

it was on the list for the roadworthy and i new about it b4 buying the car, but after looking it doesn't seem to be a gearbox seal, just the Pipe in the pics, which seems to be leaking water (with anti corrosive fluid) instead

take a look and give me your suggestions please

thanks!

Also why do my caps for my standard r32 gtr rims say "we produced with spartan air" it's really weird

Anyone? i got no idea what exactly the pipes above are but it's clear i'm going to need a new dump/front pipe

Looks like that bottom rubber coolant hose on the turbo there is leaking, or the metal banjo fitting is leaking at the O rings.

Take the hose off and have a good look at it.. while its off you might aswell replace it. Use new clamps too.

If its the banjo fitting leaking, buy a new pair of copper washers to replace the old ones.

Its really hard to tell from the photo mate... could even be leaking for higher up on the motor unfortunately. Hopefully its not a welsh plug.

Can you take a few other pics from different angles? maybe some from the top of the engine around the turbo too.

Seems to be just the hose, but it's going to be a bitch taking it to a mechanic and having them quote me some crazy price because it has a turbo on it, might try fix it myself irregardless of my lack of prac work with turbos

Looks like it might be coming from the flange on that 90degree elbow mate. If it is, take it off. Clean up both mating surfaces with coarse emery/sandpaper. Buy some suitable gasket paper, cut it so size and reseal it up with some RTV sealant. Should do the trick!

Ah, i was thinking maybe it was the rubber hose, but the flange would make more sense considering it's on those little brass pipes above, i'll yank it off tomorrow, hopefully it's as you say and i can use your lil write up thanks
