Gearbox oil leaks from the drive shaft can be a serious issue for vehicle owners Same with me, looked like a little soft, dirty grease on the drive shaft just behind the brown/red boot (dust shield?) Understanding the causes, symptoms, and consequences of such leaks is essential for proper maintenance and prevention of further damage.
Drive Shaft
It seems to be coming from the vent hole (i think that's the name for it) in the center of the slip yoke
It leaks every time i idle or drive the car, soaking the slip yoke and spraying oil all over the area above the drive shaft, and drips to make a puddle whenever i park.
If you notice oil spraying from a connection near your driveshaft, especially accompanied by rattling or clanking noises, it could indicate a failing cv joint or a ripped boot on the rzeppa joint. A long time ago i noticed small leak of transmission fluid at back side of the transmission where drive shaft goes into it Every oil change i was looking at one single drop of the oil right there on the front end of the drive shaft. There are 2 main places it can leak from usually
Pull the inspection plugs and check for oil on them in inside If it's covered, it's the rms If this cracks you'll have oil down the side the engine Rain won't clean the inside parts that should be covered in oil still so if it's leaking they'll see it.
