HI Helen as the oil is clear then it will most prob' be gearbox oil, poss' from the selector shaft seal, or the speedo drive has come loose, with out looking at it , please DO NOT drive it unless you can get some gear box oil in to it, as by the sound of it, it has been leaking for some time???. hop...

HI Helen is it the sporto box leaking oil ?? if so is it engine oil or gearbox oil which is leaking , as the converter is fed by engine oil from a pump on the L/H cam .

HI P to fit the diff correctly the gearbox will require stripping and the diff setting , bearing pre-load and backlash and not in situ'. (seen it don' and had to repair it)

HI have a look at the tinwork screws near the carbs , as some have holes through into the rocker box, and if the screw comes out!!, oil leak, then again it is prob' the rocker cover gasket slipped in side if the clearances have been checked.
