Humph, others will know more about this, but if that gearbox is anything like most other manual PSA boxes of the period, get some access, pop the white/black cap off the top of the breather (top of gearbox), grab a tube and a funnel, and throw the oil in that hole - slowly

I have seen that hole, but it would be easy to overfill.

Take the level plug out of the end plate on the side while you fill it through the top. When it starts to dribble out the level plug hole, stop putting oil in.

Re: 807 gearbox filler?
Could not find any side plug whatsoever. Some oil drained out from the driveshaft hole. I hope there is enough oil left to continue

Re: 807 gearbox filler?
hmm, I have a feeling some gearboxes dont have the level plugs Humph.
Normally I just drain and stick the required amount back in, either 1.8 or 2.2L (I think, depending on box)
I don't understand why oil is escaping the driveshaft though, that implies one of the driveshaft seal's are worn.. has it been leaking before?
