Puddles of Oil!


If, in order to carry out remedial work, you only jack up the back end of your 1275cc Sprite or Midget and subsequently notice a puddle of oil on the floor under the engine, DON'T PANIC! The front cover of the gearbox is not oil tight around a stationary input shaft. Consequently if the gearbox is tipped front end down, oil will dribble out, down the bell housing and on to the floor.

Three pieces of advice:

1. If you wish to work under the back end of your car, jack up the front end, secure it with axle stands, then jack up the back.

2. Check your gearbox oil level periodically,

3. Eliminate the problem altogether with our newest modified ribcase gearbox front cover w/ rubber seal!

ribcase gearbox cover with seal for Sprite & Midget Ribcase Gearbox Front Cover
with Rubber Seal

This is our newest modified ribcase front cover w/ rubber seal. This design replaces the older one w/ a larger seal installed in the front face instead of the back like the older style. The larger seal will keep gearbox oil from contaminating your garage floor! These front covers can be directly installed.
