Sealing a gearbox oil leak

Oil leakage in the gearbox is a problem that occurs more often. It can occur with both a manual gearbox and an automatic transmission. However, both problems require a different solution.

Leakage in the transmission can have various causes, but more importantly: How do you solve it?

Repair gearbox oil leakage

If you suffer from oil leakage in the manual transmission, various solutions are possible. The right solution depends on the severity of the problem. If the leakage is extreme then it will be a mechanical problem and there is no other option than to take it to a specialist.

However, if the leak is manageable, you can try to seal the leak with oil leak stopper. The Lindemann Oil Stop Leak can not only be used for leaks in the engine, but also for leaks in manual transmissions. The Lindemann OSL is a quality product with a dual effect, but the most important thing is that this product makes the gaskets flexible again, so that they seal properly again. Lindemann's Oil Stop Leak makes gaskets flexible again without plasticizers, unlike many competitors. If a Stop Leak product contains plasticizers, it will not provide a sustainable solution.

Repair automatic transmission oil leakage

Oil leakage in an automatic transmission requires a different approach. Again, in the event of a mechanical problem, an additive will not be able to do enough to completely solve the problem. However, in many cases an additive is a solution. While the Lindemann Oil Stop Leak offers a solution for the manual transmission, this is not the case for the automatic transmission.

Lindemann has designed the Lindemann Automatic Transmission Treatment for the automatic transmission. This product improves and makes the operation of an automatic transmission easier and also seals small leaks.
