Default Gearbox oil leak

I lastnight got a leak from the gearbox on my classic. It seems to be coming from the bell housing as everything after that is covered in oil.

It seems worse the harder the car is driven and has leaked roughly about a 1l -1.5ls last night.

Only thing is is that i would be expecting the clutch to slip if it was from the bellhousing but that seems ok.

Driveshaft seals seem fine aswell.

Any ideas or how much would i be looking to have the seals replaced on gearbox?

Cheers for any advice

is it defo gear box oil and not engine oil, as the rear crank seal could have gone.

think your looking at a 4-6hr job, because if its coming from the bell housing the gear box will have to be removed.

so cost will depend on wer u take the car

Yeah its definatly gearbox oil. Stinks like gearbox oil. All was fine till I replaced the gearbox and now this leak

Anyone recommend somewhere around birmingham that could do this? As I just fitted the box on my drive and dont fancy doing it again. I would rather pay this time.
