Hey guys got a GQ lwb wagon tb42 was driving today and noticed the sell of gear oil coming from around the gear lever, peeled away the boot and can smell it under the first boot but not the bottom boot. Very wierd i checked for any oil but nothing anyone else had this?

stick cotton wool in your nose. Fixed.

Replace the rubber boot on top of the gearbox & make sure the breathers aren't blocked or even restricted. they can fill with sludge in the gear box itsef so the pipes might be ok check further up.
If that doesnt help go with the cotton wool
