VG30E A/T transaxle leak?

I dont know where start.. so i come home the other day and i park my car next thing i know i got a cloud of white smoke. look around and see my atf is almost pouring onto my exhaust. now it looks like its my passager side cv axle is leaking. but not sure. i would like to put a 5spd in or fix the leak. so if anyone has any ideas to get me back on the road so i can get to work that will be great.

thanks

axles rarely leak. it's the seal that leaks. you may just need to replace it with the correct one.

i just got back from being under my car looking at my fsm. ur right its a seal i just cant tell which one its leaking from. it looks like its can be the oil seal on the pass side or the speed sensor o-ring. but than again i could be totally wrong too. i think im gonna take it to a shop and have them look at it.

degrease the area, then come back and look at it in a while. you should be able to determine from the spray pattern the source of the leak.
