does your sump look similar to this? is it 405 or 406?

Peugeot 406 VF38ER Manual gearbox just bought this peugeot recently and on my inspection I noticed the crankcase breather hose probably has been leaking for years without attention - probably the O-ring is bad. The leak is on the far left side and has dripped down onto the coolant pipe which now looks roasted but still together somehow. I will need to clean that up or do a complete coolant pipe replacement if its too brittle. But first find the leak. In the second and 3rd pic you can see the coolant pipe with the oil on it.

Peugeot 406 VF38ER Manual gearbox is this the drain plugs for gearbox & engine? and is there a way to see the gearbox oil level - I cant find any dipstick only the fill hole plug next to the engine. there seems to be a glitchy feeling with the gears esp the reverse gear keeps slipping out once its shifted into gear.
