The overdrive gearbox works very well, except that it leaks a lot of oil. The 
leak(s) appear to be coming from the joiny where the overdrive is coupled to 
the gearbox and tail assembly. I am NOT gifted transmission technician by any 
means, so the prospect of opening this thing up does not enthuse me at all!
 
I do have a mechanic that trust who services my other vehicles and has had a 
lot experience with import cars, including British. Does fixing these leaks 
require a specialist equiped with an assortment of "veddy British tools and 
spanners"?
 
By the way I am attempting to rebuild my trunnions with a new trunnion kit this 
weekend. Any suggestions or warnings for me?
 
Thanks for all of your patience and support 'Listers. You people are great!
