1936 Gear oil in Clamshell

[Erbleding]

Hi all,

I’m hoping you give me some good news, but I’m not optimistic. I’ve had a chronic gear oil leak behind my gear box and around the clamshell. I installed a new seal and double paper gasket. The paper gaskets were missing before and I assumed this was the problem. However, the leak continued.
I decided to pull the clamshell back off tonight and about 8 ounces of gear oil poured out. Plus I have a fine steady stream of gear oil dripping. Rear end gear oil is still full, but gear box is not. Has anybody experienced this and is it an easy fix for a novice? Hoping to not have to pull the rear axel. You help and comments are appreciated
