confirmation needed

I have a oil leak from under the car. It leaks small patches of oil. I know its a gearbox leak and im pretty sure it is from the passenger side driveshaft seal.

What I want to know is when the mechanic changes the gearbox oil, is there anyway that this leak can be caused? Or it could be a case of the filler/drain hole not being tightened enough. These are on the front of the gearbox arnt they?

I had this problem before and all it took was to change the seal but surely the seal doesnt die after 10000km can it??

Try to give it a nip up and do a degreas and see how it go's.
The bolt may have come loss a little bit.

It could be shooting out of the dip stick hole as well if it was overfilled.

Where is the dip stick hole for the gearbox? I thought to check the oil level you had to undo the filler bolt then look inside for the height of the fluid?

In any case Ill have a look if there is any more leaking today.

id be guessing crank seal (gearbox side) yes it can leak just like a rear main on commonwhore etc and will find its way dripping down g/box

or try a new bolt/washer

g/box has no dipstick in manual if tip it sit on top of box and may have o-ring that might be damaged where stick sits in housing
