Looks like the hot weather and fast driving has made a slight leak into one that's creating a bit of a puddle. I found a thread on Rennelist for 924/944...

...but is there one here for 914? Same procedure? Any tips? Thanks gents!

I think that's the thread I used as reference. Getting the seals out can be a little bit of a PITA. Once you unbolt and remove the output shaft you have to remove the seals (not sure what you mean by the cover). I think some people use a seal puller and some have carefully drilled a bolt/screw partially into the old seal to get leverage pulling it out. Take note of how deep the old seal is so you've got a good idea of how far it should go when you tap the new one in. As suggested use some drift or block of wood that will help you tap it in evenly.

I also don't think you have to drain all or even much of the tranny fluid...could be wrong though.
