FK, urgent advice required

[Jolinator]

got my car up on axle stands as i speak, doing a general service, i have a oil leak coming from my gearbox

on the car looking from the back, the fill plug on the gearbox is on the left, on the opposite side there is a sensor the sensor its self is leaking fluid, im just wondering what sensor it is as i need to order a replacement:(

gearbox could be overfilled, causing it to leak oil out the sensor.

or a seal broken?

Yeah same thing happened to me

Overfilled my box and after driving it looked like it was leaking from the side sensor. Took it to a mechanic and he told me it was the bleeder from the top of the box letting out excess fluid...sometimes it takes a while to rid of all the fluid from the bleeder and when you wipe it it might come out some more after a while.

Best to get it checked out anyways.

Yeah as said b4 might be overfilled and its coming out the bleeder. When you drive the oil gets blown down and may look like its coming out of the sensor. The bleeder is situated at the top of the box. It may also take a while for all the oil to come out, so if you wipe it once after a while it may appear again.

Same thing happend to me and thats what the mechaic told me...but to be sure get it checked out anyways.

fixed it on the day, concluded it was definatly the sensor on the side of the box, blue rtv silicon, and its all fixed, did it whilst doing the fluid.

could be the neutral sensor.
