I have been trying to track down a leak in my transaxle. New seal and O ring in speedo angle drive. needed that but it didn't fix the drip.So I cleaned the trans with brake clean and took it out for a drive. Gear oil seems to be coming from the front part of the gearbox where it meets the engine case and coming out the vent hole at the bottom of the bell housing case. Given all that, I'm thinking the input shaft seal is leaking. Am I on the right track? Any other usual suspect places that it could be coming from?

OK you have given me faith. I have good tools and a hydraulic floor jack. Also have a furniture dolly. Do I have to loosen the motor mounts as well or will the motor sag enough, (supported of course) to pull the trans out? I suppose the muffler has to go as well. HE's can stay as I see it. I may just do the clutch TO bearing and pressure plate while i'm in there. the car has 68K original miles so it may be due. Hate to take it out twice. I will re-seal the whole gear box while it's out as well I think.
