I have a 1998 EC 200 which now is losing all it's gear box oil. There is no sign of external loss so believe it is leaking through the crank shaft seals and being burnt off ? Could this be the case and if so does any one know if you have to split the cases to replace the seals or can this be done with the crank in place ? Through the link on here I have found an owners manual but no workshop manual, any help in locating one would be much appreciated . Many thanks in advance.

There is a (approx 2006 model) workshop manual available as a pdf file, I think. My sons and myself have used it for rebuilding engines, it is quite OK quality. I have a printed copy that I use, but I presume the file is also somewhere on my home server. I downloaded it either from this website or from Gasgas.es, I don't remember. If you are unable to locate it, I could send you a copy (provided I find the original at home).
I followed the 250 rebuild thread to do this but there are some differences.
The nut on the end of the crankshaft isNORMAL RIGHT HAND THREAD. There is no woodruff key as the crankshaft is splined to hold the Gear and there is no counterbalance weight.
The seal removal tool mentioned on the 250 thread made life so much easier and well worth the small price to purchase one. For the ignition side the seal is pretty small so the seal tool needs grinding each side to reduce the thickness then is works a treat.
