Is that a BC or MTX box? I presume you mean the rubber pipe on the side cover? Did you fill the box up with the car level?

Welcome by the way

hi .... its the gear boc of the mark 4 , the breather is at the top of the box right onto the gear box mount , you would think there was to much oil in it , lucky if there is 2 litres , but now loosing a lot so lucky if there is a litre lol ... no leak from shaft seals as i done them b4 it went in ..... never heard of this prob b4 , like the box is building up pressure

So its a BC box. Surely there can't be that much oil coming out that pipe is tiny

usually its a plastic push in onto the box with a rubber pipe....

Did you fill it with the car level?
