Range Rover SV Gearbox Oil Leak Repair Dubai

At Meta Mechanics, we specialize in providing expert automotive repair services for luxury vehicles, including the Range Rover SV. Recently, our team successfully completed a Gearbox Oil Leak Repair on a Range Rover SV in Dubai. Gearbox oil leaks are a serious issue that can lead to poor shifting performance, transmission overheating, and, if left unresolved, long-term damage to the gearbox and transmission components.

After a thorough inspection, our technicians identified several key issues contributing to the gearbox oil leak and provided precise solutions to restore the vehicle’s performance and ensure the gearbox remained in optimal condition.

Issues Identified

1. Worn Gearbox Seals: One of the primary causes of the oil leak was worn gearbox seals. Over time, seals can deteriorate due to the high-pressure environment of the gearbox and exposure to heat. As the seals wear, they fail to maintain a secure seal, resulting in oil leakage.
   Solution:
   We replaced the worn seals with new, high-quality OEM seals designed specifically for the Range Rover SV gearbox. This restored the integrity of the gearbox, preventing further oil leaks and maintaining proper lubrication throughout the system.
2. Damaged Gearbox Oil Pan Gasket: We also identified a damaged gearbox oil pan gasket, which was another contributing factor to the oil leak. A worn or cracked gasket can allow oil to escape from the gearbox pan, resulting in slow but persistent leaks that lead to a drop in oil levels.
   Solution:
   The damaged oil pan gasket was removed and replaced with a new, durable OEM gasket. This repair sealed the oil pan securely and prevented any oil from leaking out, ensuring that the gearbox remained properly lubricated and protected from internal wear.
3. Cracked Gearbox Oil Cooler Lines: During the inspection, we discovered that the gearbox oil cooler lines were cracked. These lines are responsible for carrying oil to and from the cooler to regulate the temperature of the gearbox. A crack in the lines can cause oil to leak, resulting in low oil levels and potential overheating of the gearbox.
   Solution:
   We replaced the cracked oil cooler lines with new, OEM-quality components. This repair ensured that the gearbox oil cooling system was fully operational, preventing overheating and further oil leakage.
4. Loose Gearbox Oil Pan Bolts: Our inspection revealed that some of the gearbox oil pan bolts were loose. Over time, vibration and general wear can cause bolts to become loose, leading to a gap where oil can escape from the gearbox pan.
   Solution:
   We tightened all the gearbox oil pan bolts to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications. This ensured that the oil pan was securely fastened and eliminated any potential for further oil leakage from the pan area.
5. Clogged Oil Filter: We also identified that the gearbox oil filter was clogged, preventing proper oil circulation and contributing to increased pressure within the gearbox. This can lead to leaks as the oil seeks escape through weakened seals and gaskets.
   Solution:
   We replaced the clogged oil filter with a new, OEM-quality filter. This allowed the oil to flow freely and cleanly through the system, preventing unnecessary pressure build-up and reducing the risk of future oil leaks.
