I have a leak on the driver's side. I've had it a while. Not sure what it is. Axle seal, TC, boot?

 

What kind of fluid is it? You would know if its the axle boot, it would be thick grease flung everywhere, not fluid reside

 

Check the actual axle seal. If it's wet, it's most likely that. I had mine changed because of a leak and was told it's fairly common. Looks like that's what it is.

 

Sorry mate, not good enough to know the fluid by it's smell.

 

I would spray brake cleaner and get all that oil off, come check it the next day or two and you will find where it is leaking from.

 

strong first post lol

thanks, will do.

 

looks like seal from here.

 

TC seal is my guess, I just replaced mine recently with a new clutch install...

 

I'd say it's the Axle seal. Rotation as driving would throw it like that. My Civic had a torn seal that did it.

I'd go ahead and do what leemaster suggested though.

 

On the five speed (idk about the 6 speed but probably the same), on the control tower, the bump on the transmission where the shifter goes in, there's a little round black rubber thingy. This is the vent for the transmission. it is pretty easy to knock this off when installing the transmission and it is above where you are seeing the leak. So, another possibility.

 

cheak your axle seal or that plug known to leak
