Leaking gearbox/cv joint>

[bananacustard]

My bus has decided to dump all it's gearbox oil. It's coming from the area of the cv joint. Is there an oil seal as part of the cv joint (drive flange oil seal?) and if so, is it worth just replacing this or would it be better to replace the entire cv joint?

Thanks, Jeremy

The CV Joint is probably fine (but will need proper inspection cleaning and re greasing)

it will be the gearbox side plate seals

Nice diagram here:

so you will need the seals:

Hopefully that helps you.
