Lewmar H3 windlass gearbox leak

Hi, I have a 10 year old Lewmar H3 Windlass on my Mauritius 43. I
noticed about a week ago that there seems to be gearbox oil???
leaking out onto the deck from under the gypsy. (just above the
hawser pipe opening)
I have enquired at our local chandlery for a seal kit but have been
told that the gearbox is a sealed unit & that the seals cant be
replaced or the gearbox oil refilled......they need to order me a new
gearbox with the 2 gaskets!!
Is this correct or can someone help with an easier & more
economical solution PLEASE?
Thanks
Richard
