i see the other holes but definitely in the right ones, there wouldn't be much chance of getting the screws in the others. I've always filled it to the recommended level just so the drive pins are covered. It lasted a meeting at Silverstone last Tuesday, and then 2/3 runs into the BWOC warm up it had leaked pretty bad, rebuilt and it lasted 2 runs until it did the same.

Just rebuilt and made sure everything fits together nicely with no stripped screws etc... Put a small amount of PTFE tape around the screw heads as they sit into the casing to see if that improves it. Doesn't leak at all from around the gear or the outdrives.

Failing this, I'll probably just buy a new casing and give that a go.

Thanks for the pointers!
