Do a search...I'm assuming you have a 2k2 or 2k3? These model years have been known to leak in that area. There is a lot of information on how to fix it.

In that case...likely your front main seal.

If you want specific repair information you can do a search for that on here, or you can consult the FSM in the link below.

You would look under the EM section.

That was what I was originally referring to, but 2k and 2k1 do not have the o-ring. The o-ring is specific to 2k2 and 2k3 model years.

foodmanry do you know the part number of that seal?

Edit: 13510-31U10 is the latest part number, 13510-31U00 was the previous part number which some places might still stock.
