Oil leaks are possible in the following places:
- The junction of the crankcase and gearbox (flywheel seal/gearbox shaft seals).
- Cardan shafts at the gearbox.
- Oil fill plug.
- Drain plug.
If the gearbox is soiled with oil and oil is lost, it is necessary to find the places of its leakage. When looking for oil leaks, it is advisable to proceed as follows:
- Clean the gearbox housing with a cleaning agent.
- Sprinkle potential leaks with chalk or talcum powder.
- Carry out an inspection trip. To make the oil completely liquid, it is recommended to perform a test drive of about 30 km on the highway.

- Raise the car on the goats and inspect the gearbox with a lamp for oil leaks.
- Urgently eliminate the causes of detected oil leaks. Then top up the oil level.
