FWIW, my understanding (from this newsgroup) is that the usual leak in this area is from the crankshaft seal rather than the gearbox. I'm not saying that the problem (in either Kristian's or Axel's case) isn't with the gearbox, just that the crankshaft seal is the normally cited culprit. If I'm wrong, then I'm sure SKS will correct me. With an oil leak of any volume, it should be simple to discover which oil is leaking by monitoring both the engine dipstick and the gearbox dipstick.
