MG MGB Technical - SPEEDO OIL DRIP

1975 MGB.no overdrive

Posting for a friend.
Oil dripping on leg from speedometer cable.I suggested that it most likely came from oil line itself but he said no and that it was from speedo.
I have not seen the car.
Any help will be appreciated.

Sandy,

I don't have experience with this in an MG, but it is a pretty common problem in general. There should be some type of seal or o-ring at the transmission where the speedo cable screws on. If the seal fails, trans oil will track up the speedo drive cable and drip out.
