Hi all
Had a dreaded gearbox leak on my SLS but was thinking hopefully it’s just the seal or weep hole leak…
until this has been unearthed…

It looks like the gearbox casing/housing is cracked.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I knew this gearbox had leaking issues which is usually the seal but haven’t come across this.. unless I’m missing something. Car was driving completely fine, no loss of gears, although did have a strange metallic “tapping” noise coming from the rear left wheel area. Thought maybe that would be the brake shield as it looked like it was touching compared to the other side.

Can the gearbox casing be bought separately? Or am I totally shafted and looking at a new gearbox?
