Make sure it is not coming from the axle seals. From the sound of it, it's input sel and you need a rebuild or new trany soon. Nothing you can do.

A leaking seal doesn't have to be punctured or anything. A tiny leak underneath your car can "look" like a disaster as the airflow from underneath blows the **** all over.

Replace your shift rod seal - you have to punch out the roll pin in the yoke (with boot pulled away) and then the shift rod/linkage will slide out. You could probably just "pic" out the old one and install a new one and hope that solves it. Not expensive and not tough to replace, if you see thats where the leak is coming from it makes sense to replace it right?
