Drive Flange Oil Seal?

[Ewan Hopkins <Ewan.Hopkins@computeraid.co.uk>]

Have you checked that it is not the speedo cable.  Mine is currently leaking
gearbox oil and it looked like it was coming from one of the flange seals.
Closer inspection revealed that the speedo cable was leaking through a crack
in the plastic sleeving,  round about where the cap that pushes into the
gearbox is.

HTH,

Ewan Hopkins.

Ok, I think this is what it is... maybe you all can
help.

I have a leak, appears to be tranny fluid (too nasty
to be engine oil- I just changed that ~10 miles ago).

If you look at the drivers side CV joint, just to the
left of CV, between the CV & the side of the
tranny....  Is this the Drive Flange Oil Seal?  That's
the only thing that looked right in Mr. Bentley's
partially helpful guide....  
I just need a big diagram of my car that points to all
the leak-prone areas with huge white arrows, and says
"Fix This Here"

<<sigh>>

But - It is RUNNING!!!! WOO HOO!!!
I got to drive it for the first time in 6 weeks this
morning... I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it :) 
Now if I would just quit finding new puddles of oil to
deal with I would be happy....

Oh - and I got the digi-cam, so look on my webpage
after this weekend for New & Exciting pictures,
possibly to include the speaker installation!

TIA for the help...
