so tomorrow morning i will check for a puddle of oil and check the engine level, if there is no puddle and no change to the levels i will clean off everything start it up and look for any signs of leakage, if there are no leaks from the engine i'll assume its gearbox oil.

if there is no way of checking the gearbox level what is the next option? should i get onto the garage that did the work to arange collection back to there place? it would be cheaper to get them to do the work if it turns out that this was the problem but if not i dont want it left with them as there work is obviously poop! recovery to carls is going to be over £100 and i dont want to go to another local garage i know nothing about

^^^ I agree with Mark. The only definite way to know how much oil is in the box is to drain and refill. Not an expensive or difficult job. And securing the shaft is a case of tightening 2 11mm nuts...

Why would you need recovery to Carls ? You can still drive it with an oil leak ?

Or Deepak is your man to get it sorted!!

His old car is pretty gay to lol! Leaking lower crank seal and rear cam carrier. may as well have a cambelt change as its coming off any way

get this sorted and i can start on making it mint again
