Gearbox noise
« on: April 28, 2011, 01:36:21 pm »
I started noticing a kind of grinding noise from the gearbox of my MK5 golf. Having looked under the car, I can see what seems like oil drops right below the gearbox. Can anyone tell me if there is anyway I can check if the gearbox oil has leaked out and if there is still gearbox oil inside the gearbox?

Thanks

Smell the oil - gearbox oil smells really 'sweet' and quite strong odoured

Is it a manual gearbox?

The only way to tell is to fill it up and see how much goes in
