Ok guys so me and my brother pulled both my motor out and his motor out to fix oil leaks on mine and change his gear box. I replaced all gaskets I thought were leaking and put back in also painted motor while it was out. I finished putting it back in today after work and noticed yep it's leaking oil but from a very weird place on the drivers side gear box there r 2 bolts with copper washers under them and they r leaking is it just a matter of undoing them and replacing washer r they holding anything in under them ??

There is a detent spring and a steel plunger in there.
Just unscrew, fit new soft copper washer instead of old one, push in against spring, tighten up. All good. 8)

Not if you are quick. It will only drain very slowly out of there if the plunger stays in.
