hi ive a g50/52 box and the oil seal on the tail is leaking slightly.

its the seal on the shaft that comes out of the back to change gear.

Does anyone know if its an easy fix and where to get the seal from?

gear box was new and only done 13000 miles

thanks dom

I have changed this seal already on my G50/03.
It was an easy ten minutes fix as this seal is just pressed in from outside.
I bought it from a porsche spare parts dealer.

if your gearbox can´t ventilate, the pressure will cause this leak...
Before changing the seal, look for it!

Do you have a breather kit on the gearbox? Have you also checked the oil level inside? Too much oil may cause a build up of pressure inside blowing out through the seal.
