Thanks Howard. I need to pull up the carpet to check the breather at the top, but this looks to me like it's coming from the shaft seal. Anything to be overly concerned about here? Besides discoloring my concrete?
Incidentally, while the Panama was up on the hoist getting new exhaust put in, I took the opportunity to see where all my drips were coming from.
As seen above, the transmission (Ultramatic) is leaking from the driver's side shaft seal. Drain plug and gasket flange seemed pretty dry.
The engine seems to be leaking from multiple spots. I can't tell where it's all coming from. Looks like a bit from the drain plug, definitely some from the bell housing, and maybe some from between the pan and block. It's wet where the gasket is if I put my finger up there. Not sure if it's traveling from somewhere else of if it's leaking from the gasket. Gasket is new from Olson's, and both mounting surfaces were perfectly clean.
Power steering is leaking at the main lever arm (bad picture, sorry). And also appears to be leaking at the piston. Slow leaks, just a few drips here and there.
Front driveshaft joint is spitting a bit of grease as well.
My experience with leaks like this is very limited. What could be the cause of these (minus the transmission discussed earlier), and what am I looking at to correct them?
