I have an oil leak which is coming from the 2 bolts
at R/H side rear of engine.
I think its the bolts for the gear detent plungers.
If they are the bolts that hold the detent plungers
can I remove them and change the seals and are
these seals copper or fibre washers.

Yes you can undo them and replace the copper washers. Note there's a spring under each plug.
You won't lose any oil if you're quick about it. :wink:
