What do you all think about a car (fortunately not mine) with a supposedly
rebuilt overdrive gearbox but which is leaking a cup and a half of oil every
200 miles?

 

The owner insists it is the gearbox and not the engine, although the leak is
hard to pinpoint.

 

I must confess my ignorance of gearboxes as I usually send them out to be
rebuilt by a guy I really trust.

 

So my question is, is there any type of gearbox leak which is amenable to a
fix other than pulling the gearbox out ?
