My HDI 110 is leaking gearbox oil. Can't tell where its leaking from. I Replaced the drivers side shaft seal, thinking that was the problem, but its not. Although there is oil all round that area.
But occasionally the clutch slips briefly if I put my foot down. Any ideas?

Could be the release bearing sleeve oil seal ( first motion shaft oil seal.)

Agreed, is it dripping from under the bell housing?

Re: Unidentifiable gearbox oil leak
Is it definitely not engine oil?
