Is this terminal? I think my diff housing gasket is having issues :lol:
Tightened everything up I can see, but it still leaks oil out when its warm :D
Is it a big job to change, or would it be better top replace the whole motor with another cheap 2nd hand one?

AAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHh :wub: :) :nugget:

whip it out, clean up the faces and stick it back together... it's probably just old and tired, at worst it'll cost you gasket set which is less than a tenner

It's very important to follow the manual closely and check and if needed re-shim the diff when you disturb the sideplate gaskets.
