Question Gearbox oil leak ??????

Just had the 1k service done and the dealer commented that there is possibly a gearbox oil leak (traces found) and to bring it back in 2 weeks to check again !!!!!!

Level is at max and they wonder if it was overfilled from new. Anybody had a similar experiences of this ?

Has anybody used the dealer in Kendal (Lake District) ? Because i'm up there soon and it would be convenient.

Leak from where? They are the dealer and supposed experts and should be able to determine from where any leak is coming.
Overfilled from new? Erm, there is a thing called a PDI, Pre Delivery Inspection. An overfilled transmission should have been rectified, by the supplying dealer.
Some of us with Classics run the transmission oil level a bit above max, deliberately, with no problems though.
Sorry, can't comment on that dealer.
