Driving on freeway yesterday sitting on 120 most of the way. when i stopped i noticed smoke rising out of engine bay! It is not leaking out of the back of the box somewhere around the top or the side.Is that redline shockproof oil blue..Maybe it was over filled. Is there a common spot in these boxes where they leak? I don't usually drive at that speed for so long.. nnnooooo! what could it be??
It's common for redline lightweight shockproof to do that, it's happened to me. There is a breather valve just above the speed sensor, that is where the oil leaks out and falls onto the exhaust. I've also had heavy weight shockproof in my gearbox but it's only ever occurred with LWSP.
I'd go with Z-ster. I have the Redline as well & I know of a few others that have put it in their gearboxes, with the same result. It froths up & over flows out the breather. Cheers Kerry
Cool, never used this product, best to listen to these guys as they sound like they have had more experience with it, Cheers, Bigbaz
MMM What other type's of oil's would you's recommend? I don't want that gear clash. It does it now sometimes changing to second..
I'd go with the heavyweight shockproof But the lightweight stuff will stop leaking soon enough, once the level drops a little.
