Transmission leak

[AZDatsun]

 

I have an odd leak that just appeared. My car is normally dry underneath so not sure exactly what it is but it’s coming from this area in the picture. I think possibly where the shift lever connects to. Any ideas what to look at first? There is no fluid where the drive shaft connects to the transmission but it’s just before that area in the circled area

It's probably leaking from the rear of the striker arm. If it is; it's not an in car repair.

So the o ring #3? Maybe

3 and 5 as long as you are taking it apart to fix. good time to put in a new throw out bearing/clutch/front seal.

It's hard to see in the photo and my internet here, in the middle of nowhere, is not the best. Can you get a better side on photo?

It might pay to do some more checking before removing the transmission.

It could be just a leaky rear oil seal and the yoke is throughing it up around the striker arm. I would clean it, drive and check again to confirm before removing the transmission. Replacing a rear oil seal is a lot easier than pulling the transmission.

These transmissions can also leak at pin (pos #8). It's not common, but possible. Some Nissan garages in Australia used to cover the exposed ends of the pin with silicone sealant as a precaution to prevent leaking. These old transmissions have wear and the tolerances could allow enough oil to leak through the pin boring. The o-ring seal (pos #3) is after the pin.

Have you gone to the bronze bushings yet? Cheap and easy while the shifters out.
