Correction

1. Check location of oil leak
If oil drips from the bottom of the transmission housing (1) the leak can originate from the oil plug on top of the housing.
Look at the top of the housing. If it has moisture and / or dust that smell like oil, the plug should be replaced with the new type (2).

 

If the rear end of the vehicle is not disassembled, the top of the housing can be checked from underneath with a dry towel and/or a mirror.
