I believe my Montego EFi has/had an oil leak which has contaminated the clutch. Still driveable and I topped up the box with some stopleak and seems to be ok now. However, at some point I plan to change the clutch and replace any oil seals. Is it the main shaft oil seal that goes and is it still available and easy enough to fit? Any other seals to check and replace?

Cheers guys. I am fairly competent with the spanners but never stripped a gearbox before. I have no idea what is leaking, so will need to take the box out first to see. I guess it makes sense to replace all seals at the same time if they are available. I actually had the car up on an MOT ramp on Sunday and was surprised that it didn't seem to have an inspection cover on the fly wheel. From memory my other cars had a small plate you could remove to see inside without taking out the box. Did they get rid of this on later boxes or was I just not looking carefully?
