1] Where is the reversing light switch on the gearbox?

2] Why does the intercooler leak oil, it's new, over pressure?

regarding intercooler, it doesnt leak oil as it doesnt contain oil, oil collects at the lowest point and if you have a split hose oil will leak from there, renowned for collecting oil there, good idea to take hose off periodically to either give it a good wipe out or to show any problems with turbo oil seals

Cheers Hongkongstuey.

BUT. The intercooler is definately leaking black engine oil from the top and bottom seams. Can it be overpressure?
