[Healeys] BN1 Gearbox Leaks

[Rich C]

Ggreg, et al,

That's a great idea, adding the vent to the filler plug, (which looks like a 
tapered pipe plug) but being located only 2/3 the way up the side, I would 
suggest installing an extension to the vent to bring the actual vent hole up 
even with the top of the gearbox casing. There is room in there to do this 
without disturbing the cover, only requiring the access cover to be removed.
