Thought I should provide an update now that the job is completed. My initial hope was that I might get away with just blanking off the internal bolt openings which I did using JB Weld and then a thin layer of 3 Bond 1104 over the top to be sure. The lower two holes were really awkward to get at but I managed in the end with a bit of discomfort and ingenuity. The two very bottom ones for the bolts that secure the little cover plate were impossible to access. Anyway, it was a fruitless exercise in the end as the leakage persisted after this so the gearbox had to come out after all.

I have pretty much eliminated all of the oil leaks from my car other than what is definitely a leak from the front of the gearbox evidenced by a constant slow leak of transmission oil from the weep-hole in the base of the bell housing. There is no doubt that it's the transmission oil I recently installed. I've had the gearbox out 3 times already and I'm not keen to do it a fourth time due a back injury, but I will do it again if there's no other option. However, I think I may be able to solve the problem without having to do that. The gearbox has been rebuilt as I've posted previou
