Gearbox leaking oil??
I've just noticed my gearbox is leaking oil.
I haven't had the chance to lift it up on the hoist just yet, but looks to be from the right side near the CV joint. 100% it's oil because it smells like gearbox oil.
Ideas where it's from?

Could be an o-ring in the cooler lines as numbskull says.
I've also had a leak from the output shaft seal, and from the gear selector plate. The output shaft seals are cheap and very easy to replace. The gear selector plate I just unbolted, cleaned the surfaces and sealed with some loctite 574 I had left over from my engine build.
It only looks like a very small leak, so the easiest way to find it would be to thoroughly clean the whole area and then take it for a short drive.

Thanks. I'll really need to lift it up. At least i have an idea what to look at.
Theres a few drips on the garage floor. Xmas break will be a good opportunity.
