Hi Mark,
The case is reasonable sealed and will usually hold the heavy gear oil OK.
Gear oil will ooze out of the case joint if you overfill. You could put a
rubber band or some sort of gasket around the case to slow down any leaks.
But, hey, its an MG aned supposed to leak.

How do you keep the oil from leaking out?

Absolutely. Grease will NOT flow to the gears or the shafts for
lubrication.
Use gear oil.

I've just gotten in on this thread and do I understand correctly, that
the
tach gear box from the generator to the tach should also have 90W and
not
grease?

Hi John,
See http://omgtr.ca/technical/highpressureoiler/highpressureoiler.htm
for
how to make a dedicated oiler for the steering rack and the tachometer
gearbox (as Bob Grunau recommends). Either of the oilers will work
better
on the rack with a long flexible nozzle. I use a 90 weight Marine Gear
Oil
for both applications. Cheaper than the synthetics that I use in tranny
and
differential.
