Martin,

Yes, the side seals in the transmission case need replacing.  If I
recall correctly, removing the piece that holds them requires that you
adjust the end play when replaced.  Check your Bentley, it might just be
easier to keep topping up the tranny until you do the inevitable
rebuild, which usually comes shortly after 100,000 miles.

Believe me, if I could I'd come to Scotland to help!
