A question,
I have a 79 MGB with an oil leak that seems to be coming from the
gearbox. It is not from the engine because that level doesn't go down.
My question is on how to tell when the gearbox oil level is correct.
When I changed the oil in the gearbox a month or so ago I just added the
3 quarts of oil recommended in the owners manual. The oil didn't run out
the filling hole as it would on the differential.
Is filling the gearbox until the oil runs out of the filler the right way
to gauge the level?
Also, in filling the coolant level. I understand that looking in the
overflow tank is not a good way to check the level of the coolant. How
does one check it when there is no cap on the radiator. Through the plug
at the top of the thermostat?
Thanks for all your input. I am learning a lot here as I have only had
my car since this spring! But I enjoy every minute I can get to drive
the car.
