if its just the cable your taking off the gearbox, then no oil will come out...if you take the speedo drive out then yes oil will come out.

a drill should test the cable ok.

as above, if you take the speedo drive out then yes, oil will piss out; but where is a clip which fits inside the drive that hold the drive in, pinch it together with a suitable tool and that will allow you to pull the speedo cable out

If you jack up the car(rear) they do not lose much, this is how I did it.
