some of you are aware i started my P6b for the first time in about ten years a few weeks back. I checked the Trans oil level then and it was at the top line and nice and clean. Later i did a few three point turn type maneuvers around the workshop and the gearbox behaved as it always did. yesterday i started it up to drive it home and it wouldn't engage gear. after a minute or two it did and i drove off but with very high revs. 90% of the trip is downhill about two miles with a big climb in the middle (down up down) the down bit was ok but next to no uphill drive, felt like no oil in trans so I checked at the bottom of the first down and not a drop on the dipstick, dry as a bone. i put three litres in it and it registered at the bottom of the stick so I finished the trip. Mystery is that between first starting it up and yesterday i lost at least four litres of oil but there is no puddle, not even a drop on the floor! Anyone got any clever ideas where it went. Drive was completely normal when I first started it up.
