ds4 gearbox oil leak from small hole

[r3ynolds]

Hi, whilst changing the brake pads on my daughters ds4 I noticed a small leak and tracked it to a small hole about 5mm perfect circle inside the area arrowed in pic. it is on the roof of that section should it be there? or should there be a plug of some kind in it, or its it damaged some how? (not actually gearbox) thanks in advance.

Can you identify anything from these diagrams?

[r3ynolds]

Thanks for diagrams. no nothing on them indicate what the hole could be. the car will be at mine tomorrow so ill try getting a clear pic then.

the hole you have marked is right below the bolt on gear selector mechanism. A better diagram might be "gear selector" if there is such thing. If this is not a weep hole for a faulty gasket joint then it must be for some kind of sprung ball otherwise why would the case have this casting? I am really curious to see what it is.

heres a pic of the hole. yes Dormouse there is a bolt direct above it for engine mount. this is def where the oil is coming from as there was a trail from it when i first look.
