Default Porsche Carrera S Tiptronic oil leak

Good afternoon all. I have tried googling and also searching rennlist however I can't find what I am looking for. I have a 1996 993 Carrera S. I have noticed a minor oil look coming from the the right hand side of the transmission however I don't what part it is (intermediate shaft)? I believe the seal or bearing maybe faulty. Anyway attached is a photo so if anyone can tell me what it is and maybe how to repair it I would be grateful.

I wish my engine looked that clean! My rule is if it is not dripping on the floor or dripping on the hot exhaust stinkin' up the cabin with burnt oil smells it is of no consequence.
However I am sure if you look hard enough for love, some enterprising Rennlist member will help you find her and she will be an expensive date you will wish you had never gone on.

True! Does the picture even show a leak?

I cleaned it up and then took it for a drive so I could isolate where the leak was. There is a small drop of oil below the bottom hex bolt.
