Hole In Bed 1.6 Gear Box.

[jameswallace. 8]

I've just been driving the car when gears became hard to select got home and looked under the car to see all the gear box oil had passed out of a whole in the bottom of the gearbox. Looks like it had some kind of plug in the previously which has now gone! Is there a way to plug it back up? I post some pictures to help explain.

Picture will help. It could be the drain plug has somehow worked loose and dropped out? Otherwise check the engine to gearbox bolts are all in and tight, if they work loose the gearbox can move away from the engine enough for the driveshaft seals to leak gearbox oil.

Bit of a rubbish photo but hope you get the idea. I took it from under the front bumper. The said area is in the middle with the clean circle around where I guess something was before. But it doesn't look as if it has any thread inside or anything?

Where can I get one of those? Can I replace it or not?
