    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Shift Shaft Seal..

Just found me an oil leak. This is something I don't like but can live with untill winter to fix if it won't hurt.

It's around the shift shaft @ the case.

Is this just an o-ring seal or am I looking at something else?

Is it leaking a special gear fluid (hypoid) OR is it just sump oil (chain drive)?

When replacing this seal will I end up doing more work? and if so what?

Again, thanks for the knowledge

try a search, I remember someone telling me the answer to this one, but now I've forgotten...
also check the cover plate that the clutch rod passes thru, on mine it has a bushing that had slipped out and left a bit of play in the rod as it entered the engine. after I reseated the brass bushing, the rod was much more stable and didn't leak at the engine very much at all!

good luck!!
 
It is a leaking oil seal, replace it now, it is cheap and not difficult. BTW it is only engine oil leaking from it.

Yes. Not too hard to replace, and it will get worse fast. I tried to ignore it on my 82 100e, much to my chagrin. Ruined a good boot by soaking it in oil.
