MikeTeesside Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hey again, I've been fixing the leaks I have on my Type D Overdrive and gearbox. Mostly the usual suspects like the output flange seal and the speedo drive seal/o-ring, but also noticed a lot of old oil around the breather hole. Pretty much looks like it was vomiting oil in a cone out from the hole.From reading up I've heard failing seals and the purging from the breather means it's possibly partially blocked. I just wanted to ask how to remove it since the workshop manual doesn't seem to cover this and is rather vague. Once I get it out I can clean it up and pop it back in.It looks like it just pulls out but I don't want to go yanking on it if it's actually held in by something else.

RedRooster Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Pretty sure theres nothing behind it so it should unscrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 d type is just an open breather, just a hole at 90 deg to the threaded part.I had some over spill and ended up fitting a tubed extention with an adaptor screwed in . so any loss is well away from frying on the exhaust, there's no volume of leak , just a continuous trace.having kept a good eye on oil levels and chats to the OD people there's no real reason why any internal splash migrates out of this simple breather .Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
