I spotted a man at the national who has made an oil tray to go under the split pin at the bottom of the gearbox to catch those annoying drips.
It's nicely made in mild steel with an aluminium tray that unclips and slides out out so that you can empty it
He sells them for £25 and will make them for minors if I give him the dimensions.
I'm going to have one - is any one else interested?

Don't suppose he's still making these? Do you find it works well?

For some strange reason a small drop in the level on the dipstick = a large pool on the garage floor.
