Hi, Wondering if anyone can help with an oil leak i have on the auto gearbox in my Mini. Its a 1970 998cc auto engine & box and oil is leaking pass what i think its the selector shaft oil seal. Here's a pic of wear the oil is leaking from:  The oil seal doesn't seem to be listed on MiniSpares website. I've checked Somerford mini's website and they have it listed as part numbers, 22A978 SEAL oil operating rod and 22A977 CUP seal and fork end gaiter retaining, however upon ordering these parts it says they are now obsolete. Does anyone know of a fix to stop the leak or where new seals are available from? Thanks in advance |

I'm pretty sure Martin on here has new seals. I changed mine after it came out with the shaft on a very cold morning. Only about a 10 minute job if your handy. You might be able to pull it out and get one by the size. There's no pressure behind it. Just oil sitting in the sump.
Where are you located? Maybe someone can help.

Managed to take out the leaky seal. Still haven't managed to locate a new one though.  |

Hi I’ve got the same problem with oil seal leek how did you remove it and how do you get the bit off the rod to allow the seal on/off please I have these in stock and removal and refit is simple enough, a nice special tool would be nice but you could do it gently with a deep socket or a long section of tube .... |

. . . . There's no pressure behind it. Just oil sitting in the sump. Does this mean you can change it without draining the oil? |
