Today when I replaced a welsh plug on the side of the blockof my 253 I also noticed water dripping from the converter cover, I removed the converter cover and used a torch to see water was dripping from the block, about 3/4 up next to the fly wheel ( hard to pinpoint exactly where because the converter and flywheel are in the way) Could someone please tell me whether or not there is also welsh plugs in this area, and if so do I have to drop the gearbox just to replace them ?
Any help would be grateful. Thanks.
