My sons girlfriend has a 2002 VX series 2 Equipe with a M30 Gearbox and the last day or so it has been spewing oil out of the dipstick from the gearbox. Yes this gearbox could be suspect because it was serviced by someone else (not me) and possibly been overfilled. Now i would like to ask a question for the guys that have worked with automatic gearboxes before mainly on Holdens. What would cause when you turn the engine off and the auto dipstick is out sitting on the windscreen and oil fires out to a point it goes out the front of the car. i have never seen anything like this before in my life.
Possible loss of about 500ml to 1 litre of fluid has come out on the front of the car and on the floor. Now i know about the breather tube and being blocked but what other mechanical part of the gearbox can cause this?
by the way, i think the car has lost drive and reverse. maybe because it lost too much oil.
