Puma Gearbox Losing Oil
Hey. Just had to refill 2007 2.4 Puma gearbox again. Can't find any leaks anywhere and only filled it in August, about 3,000 miles ago. It was almost completely empty. Any ideas?

How do you check the oil level?

You can not use the filling hole like a level check, but you must discharge the old oil and refill the gearbox with the predetermined quantity..... Discovery 5 td6 HSE Stornoway Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition

Also if you did fill to level at the wrong plug it could be seriously overfilled

If it has gone, I assume you can't see leak, have you checked transfer box level?

But as above, filler plug is not the fill level.

No way for it to get in to transfer box

if the output shaft seal leaks it will leak in to adaptor casing between main box and transfer box and the adaptor/extension casing has a drain hole as its a dry casing ( where the spline is that wears ) , so oil would leak on to ground
