Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Oil Leak from transmission

The only contact I have ever had from anyone at the factory is mark.baldwin@morgan-motor.co.uk
Good luck

Probably should have asked this earlier, but didn't get around to it.

Here is a parts breakdown of the drive line from motor to transmission.



The red arrow points to the intermediate housing that couples to the motor and then back to the adapter plate for the trans/flywheel.

I know that "most" have a hole in the bottom of the intermediate housing. Is that where the oil is coming from?

Not sure on the actual transmission bell housing if there's a hole on the bottom of it or not. But is the oil coming from the motor side of part 4 or the transmission side of part 4.

This will help the guys in giving advice as to what to possibly look for. AND also direct the dealer in the correct location.

Good luck with your oil leak/drips.

I will post pictures, not sure how? maybe ill attach a link.
Thank you again

Let me know what you guys think, the darker areas on the bellhousing have oil layer

Difficult to say, but if you stick your finger in the hole and see if the inside of the bell housing is oily then you will know for sure that it is coming from there.

I'm going to say something daft now..

BUT..

I had an almost identical staining leak under my bell housing. It would drip onto the floor and stain the alloy collecting dust, at almost the same point.

Stupidly enough, it was a leaking cam seal behind the front cover..!! It would weep and the airflow wind would blow it underneath until it reached the bell housing, where it would drip.

I also stuck a finger in that hole...it was bone dry...

Good hunting..

SBM makes a good point. Any oil weeping from virtually anywhere will likely end up dripping from that lower bellhousing because it's the lowest point. I have had a leak from my oil tank which also ended up dripping from that same point.

A 2016 car is still under warranty so get it into a dealer to be investigated and sorted out.

Ill check the inside. Dealer replied and said that they will wait for Morgan to approve the warranty claim.

That sounds like progress ..
