Oil leaking from gearbox. Maybe a hole!!!

Post by Mlink »

Hi there,
I have a 2012 B7 passat, 6 speed Sport, 90K. Noticing oil on the drive I decided to remove the engine covers and recognised that oil has leaked from the gearbox. So it seems that my passats year are know for damage to occur within the bell housing that ends up leaving a hole in the gearbox! Does this sound familiar? Is the gearbox repairable? I know that the exact issue will not be known until the gearbox has been remove, and it could just be a seal, but there is info on the web detailing this issue. I look forward to anyone replying on this, good and bad news!!!!! Thank you.
