ok so at the last drift event i went to my car was leaking transmission oil that seem to be coming from the driveshaft/transmission. Can anyone help me out and point me in the right direction on what to check? I already cleaned the area and i drove it around and it seemed to not be leaking any more but i just want to make sure. Thanks guys

yeah someone told me about that output shaft seal, how hard is that to replace. Im not sure on that overflow hose...dont think i saw a hose down there.

* Also how can you tell if its bad, just from looking at it?

its kida hard to get to that seal and even harder if you do it under the car. sometimes the over flow hose over flows. it no biggie unless it does it a lot. check to make sure you have the hose mounted high at the end so the fluid can go back it after it settles.
