Hey guys,
Currently I have a gearbox oil leak that I cannot identify it's source. Currently it's got Mazda's standard oil and not the SYN 75 replacement.
Took it to Mazda they cleaned it, went back a couple days later and there was no oil leaking anymore.
I am currently on a long drive and it's started leaking again, great! I believe the leak seems to be coming from either the gear selector plate gasket or the top breather.
I am wondering whether it only happens on longer drives when the oil is hot and has thinned out?
Obviously I am a little worried about this being so far from home lol, I am thinking of getting some SYN 75 if I can and replacing the oil. Does anybody else think that would be a wise decision? Current gearbox oil would be 50,000k old.
Cheers
