I have a leak from this pipe (drivers side, 1996 2.5 TD automatic). Photo here:
As far as I can tell, it is the gearbox oil pipe labelled as 19-9A0 here:

I think this is a common problem, but I had few rookie questions about how to deal with it.
- Is it a particularly fiddly job? I see you can get pair of pipes here? http://mazdabongo.com/catalog/mazda-bon ... ll-models/
- I am guessing it is inadvisable to move the van far? If at all? The ATF fluid spurts out at quite a rate when I start the engine. The van is currently parked on the road with driver's side on the road. I think it is going to be nigh on impossible to replace the pipe in-situ, without moving the van.
- Should I even be running the engine? Is it harmful even in neutral if ATF is low?
- Ideally I would take the van to Bongo Spares (we are north of Leeds), but I am guessing it will need recovery to get it there? Anyone know of any Bongo-friendly garages nearer Leeds that could do this job?
Thanks all!
Steve.
