Is it dripping? That's the differential housing. I beleive on the manual trans cars, the front and..

middle diffs, and the transmission isself all share the transmission gear oil.

Check the axle seals, and wipe/clean the area thorougly to see if you can spot the source of the leak.

I have the same leak -- small, infrequent drops of oil -- mechanic says it's the axel seal.

Had same problem...was the differential gear seal on the axle side...

cost me $550 at stealership to replace both axle seals.

They said the driveshaft seal is going also but that can wait.....$400 extra for the driveshaft seal.
