yeah mike am goin nuts here cause pulled out g/box and again had to put off gettin my Baja i bought recently.

the chisel was half inch by 3 mm x 3mm but when i was doin about 160 kmh it must have sucked up the piece by the speed of the flywheel.shame it is a VW Seat Cordoba and has been truoble free for 235 G's

you can try and tap the hole ..say 4-6mm and fit a plug...screw it in with a two part liquid metal...bingo oil leak cured ..ps make sure the plug sits flush with the inner housing..if the hole is smaller go down a size...tip when drilling or tapping use lots of grease as it collects the fillings easy....dont panic if some falls inside the g/box ..the material is qiute soft and wont have to much affect on the working internals good luck cheers steve

drill and tap the hole for a 1/4 inch threaded allen headed grubscrew, and put some loctite 577 on it. bingo.
