The gasket on the gear shaft is dead. Water runs around it between the outer cover and the gearbox, and unfortunately the gear shaft needs to go all the way through them to get to the 'box. There should be a flat O-shaped gasket around the shaft, and that's leaking water into the oil, and out the side. This is a pretty tough job if you havn't got the right tools, so maybe rather take it to a workshop mate! Hope that helps!

Skoda gear selector assembly manual gearbox 1998 felicia please show design and possible solution to oil leak from gear box end

Normally there is a seal of sorts here (it may be a felt seal or a rubber flap) but I find that if there is a problem here I check firstly the oil level in the gear box and the viscosity of the oil in the box Remove the filler plug (plug in the side of the box ) and drain until oil is level with the bottom of the threads. Best replace oil with a known viscosity oil for you gear box.

There is an oil seal on the gearbox/transaxle input shaft. If this has failed it will leak oil on to the clutch.It might be able to be replaced by just removing the gearbox again to access the seal. Most likely though is, the gearbox will need to be opened up to replace it.

I'm getting fuel in the crankcase oil of my 1994 YZ 125

Unless I am mistaken, (Honda guy myself, not fully up to date on mid to late 90's Yamaha) it is a 2 stroke so fuel air mix runs through the crankcase anyway but, excessive amounts are usually caused by a stuck needle valve in the carb. If it is getting into the gearbox oil then you probably have a bad crank shaft seal which requires major surgery.

Good luck hope this helps.

Leaking oil from power valve on 2000 yz 125

It is normal for the powervalves to leak, but it does depend on where it is leaking from.

The hose on the left side is the power valve chamber vent - it is normal for it to leak thick black oil from this hose.

If the leak is on the right side, and the oil is transmission fluid, then the seal on the actuator shaft needs to be replaced.

Excessive oil from the powervalve hose is a possible sign that the compression is low. Low compression equals lower exhaust temperatures and this can lead to incomplete combustion.

1997 yamah yz 125 lots of white smoke comeing out of pipe

How much was it smoking previously? Too much smoke (oil) is a whole lot better than not enough smoke (oil). If you are mixing the oil and gas then cut back on the mixture. Obviously it is out of balance. Put 1/2 gallon of raw gas in the tank to cut the mix. After a tank or so you should get the balance back.

You need a new shift shaft and probably need a new shift lever due to the bad splines. You can try the JB Weld but I suggest that you go ahead and drill the lever an shaft then put in a cold roll split pin from the hardware store. You have nothing to loose since the shaft and the lever are already toast.

Please rate this solution. Thanks!

Oil is a grey colour in the engine of my yz 125 2001

Your bike is water cooled. Some of that water is leaking into the gear box. The cylinder gasket is the likely leak. I would let the shop take a look at it instead of trying to fix it yourself.

But be sure there is not an external source for the water. Do you wash the bike often? Ride the creek bed often? Leave the bike where the lawn sprinkler gets the bike wet? Leave it out in the rain? Change the oil and keep the bike dry. If the problem comes back then go see the dealer.
