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?

Loosen the motor mount bolts, it reduces the strain on the rubber part of the mounts when you tilt the motor. Remove the muffler, but the exchangers can stay.
