VN auto speedo sensor oil leak

[GeorgeM]

Got a question for the experts. I have an oil leak from the speedo senor on my VN auto. What seals are on or in the sensor and are they changeable? Also is it above the trans oil level so I can take it out with making a mess? I wouldn't be to worried about the leak just that I put a new rubber mount on the back of the box and don't want it to be destroyed with oil.

The large O ring is 54mm approximate outside dia and 3 approx thick.
The orange seal is obviously holden exclusive I would think but you could try a hydraulic repair place.
The drive pulls out and the rest unscrews as you can see.
I would suggest a quick degrease then run it for a few minutes to see where it is leaking.

Give everything a good clean then go for a drive look again to see source of leak.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give it a clean and look again but I may just replace the oring and see what happens. Getting under the car for me is a bit of a mission and painful for my back.

I seemed to fixed it with help from this forum again, thanks for the help. I changed the Oring and after a 10km drive there is no evidence of oil.
