Default Gearbox Leaking Oil

Gents please Help

Having replaced my old gearbox which was leaking oil, I have brought and installed a replacement second had box from a user on here. Really happy with the box, but Im still leaking oil so Im guessing its not the Gearbox.

Have spoken to a few people and have been told it could be the Baring on the flywheel or there abouts, could this be right?? Everyone I have spoken to doesnt seem to know how this baring could course the Gearbox to leak, I have been quited £15 for the baring, but its gearbox back off again....would I also need to check the seals on the Gearbox aswell if this is the fault....

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

Regards
Pablo

Whereabouts on the gearbox is the oil leak?

Are you sure it's gearbox oil, not engine oil? Smell and feel distinctly different.
