[Healeys] OD Leak

[Ronald J. Ray]

Larry,

I am sure not an expert, but it seems unlikely that oil would leak from the
breather unless you had too much oil in the transmission/overdrive.

Perhaps it is leaking around the O-ring that seals the actuator shaft at the
passenger side

I have a BT7 with side shift and have a persistent drip from the
overdrive.  It appears to originate from the top; I haven't taken the
tunnel off to investigate yet.  But I wonder if the breather on the top
of the overdrive leaks and, if so, under what circumstances:  gearbox to
full?  too much internal pressure?

Thanks,

Larry Swift
