As above really. Check your breathers for 10. There is indeed an output seal on the R380 and a separate input seal on the LT230. But critically there is a drainage route between the two gearboxes to prevent the possibility of cross breadbox contamination. So... Breathers first. But. It is possible that some hack went crazy with the silicone between the two gearboxes and completely blocked up the drainage channel. It happens a lot. Customer goes in. Oh my gear box is leaking. Garage goes oh ok we will take it out and have a look. Cleans it up and glues it all back in place. No more leak. Except it is usually the intermediate shaft that is leaking and it doesn't drain into the drainage channel so the leaks re-occur in time. You will find your breathers down the back of the engine up against the bulkhead. Let us know how you get on. |

Keep you posted, I'll check the breathers in the next couple of days. I did have a clutch replaced and they are certainly capable of using too much instant gasket on reassembly they were half men half beasts

Really shouldn't need to split the two gearboxes to do a clutch. It is possible, bt most garages will either shift the two gearboxes back wards enough to do the clutch or remove both of them in one. Unusual but not impossible.
Now... Trapping the breather in the bell housing is entirely possible, probable even. Pinched in there it will be utterly blocked. |

They had them all off. Pto pump transfer and then gearbox. I'll gave a good look around and see what's what. Helpful video with the smc connectors to extend the breathers for testing
