Might be an idea to change the GB oil and check its upto level. Make sure you use the correct GL4 and don't pour it into the timing hole….

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Opps been there done that about 1981…..before I had a Haynes or Bentley, and it ended up being my Bottlecap wheel covers that were making the terrible racket…which I threw away, and got the Vw baby-moons.
Happy ending is that after cleaning the clutch it lasted another 100K miles.

You may prefer to fill it thru the speedo cable hole as its a bit awkward to fill thru the filler/level, just take care not to pull the gear off when removing cable

Thanks for that John, I managed to undo the filler plug .Just to recap, I have Hypoid ep90 API Gl4 oil, but it is not red ,and the oil already in the box looks redish, do you think that this will be ok Regards Dave W
For a manual box 90 is a bit thick. The recommended is;
VW calls for hypoid oil API GL4, MIL-L2105 SAE 75 or G50 SAE 75W90 synthetic lubricant.

Stuff I've been using in both my cars for about 10 years so I've changed it a few times.

Don't forget the discount code to get it cheaper and I find 2 bottles (2L) is plenty.

If it's only a small leak just keep topping it up until you can change the seals, I did this for a couple of years then I did change the seals in the end.

if you haven't changed the gearbox fluid, perhaps consider doing the linkage bushes too… as for the gearbox seals, they're less than £10 to buy…
