Hey guys,
It seems that I have a leak in my tranny somewhere, and I can't figure out exactly where it is. I have a manual KLZE. The leak seems to be centered around the rear mount. However the speedo sensor is not leaking. I may have overfilled it when I was changing the oil. Could someone explain some likely culprits and help me identify the problem?

If it was me, I would try to clean off everything around it. Let it stand a day without driving it. Maybe it would show where it was coming from. Cause when your driving it, all the fluids scatters around. It could fluid from your master cylinder, tranny, even your racknpinion unit.

Its probabaly the seal around were the axle goes into the trans. It is called a Output shaft seal. It also could be the neutral sfaety switch is leaking. there is a crush wahser type of seal there too.

One more question for you guys while we are on the subject of neutral safety switches, what exactly does it do and can it cause starting problems?
