My oil sump has been leaking for a while now so I put a new sump gasket in.also my main seal has been replaced not long ago.but there is still an oil leak around the sides and bottom of the gearbox.any ideas what this might be.

Also check dizzy seals. When they go oil runs down the back or the motor.

I've been.its been doing this for a while now.ive checked my oil levels and I'm not loosing any.when I had the sump leak could there be oil in the gearbox housing and the fly wheel flicking the oil out.

I'm pretty sure its not.it's been doing it for a while,so I'm sure the old oil would have gone by now surely.

Can I clean it without taking the gearbox out.it won't hurt it if I spray decreased in the housing.

At it. Not in it. Try to avoid the electrics as well

It's coming from inside the gearbox where the metal plate cover is,that covers your fly wheel. And it's definitely engine oil

Rear main seal. That's a gearbox out job to replace.

If you weren't losing ANY oil you wouldn't have a leak, would you?

Even one tablespoon of oil is enough to make a mess but not enough to notice down on the dipstick.

Engine oil coming out of the bottom of the bellhousing is a leaky rear main seal as has been said a few times already.
