Leaky gearbox

[Doeboy]

Hopefully an easy one for some of you guys. But why would I suddenly have oil being pushed out here. I'm guessing a breather hole. Box has been out of van for about 8 months. And started to clean her up yesterday. Removed the drive shafts and the starter today and then all of a sudden I noticed. Did lay it over for a brief moment..now stood up again but still being pushed out as you see the odd air bubble. Any thoughts.

Probably because you rolled it over, there is a breather hole on the top of the gearbox.

Cheers sparky, it did stop in the end but just odd why it kept bubbling out even after standing up for a good 15mins

Air mixed in with the gearbox oil, it's quite viscous especially when cold.
