Packing for our first real trip away this morning, Fender in Tully getting UHF & Antenna installed, Nearly all ready to head up through the CREB Track & beyond for 5 days AND.....
I discovered a nice puddle of Gearbox Oil in the Defender' Car Park (guess about 1/3 of a cup full of oil - hard to estimate on the conrete floor)

So now it's off to the Doctor (Trinity in Cairns) to see what can / needs to be done - anyone encountered this type of problem

Cheers

I'd be thinking a level bung has come adrift.

Or oil seal on the output shaft?

All bungs accounted for - message as quoted ex Dealer

"Rear seals have let go - may have been nicked / cut at the factory on installation" ??

See what happens when I get back up there to pick up it up tomorrow...

Bad day all round - hit by another car in the missus' car today - drivable but damaged, other party uninsured. There goes spending money for a while, looking forward to going back to work for the 4 weeks...

Thanks for the feedback.
