Several leakages in 1948 custom 8

Hi all! after acquiring my Packard for a couple of days now, I noticed some leaks on different spots under the car.

1- There is a leak from the diff pinion. I believe it is not a big deal and can be fixed

2- There is a leak from the gearbox. This is my big concern. How bad could be the problem and any suggestion as I am planning to visit the mechanic next week.

3- There is a leak from the engine and I believe it is from around the drain plug. I believe it is not a big deal too. There is some oil around the engine as in the picture but I do not know if that is just a sweat or something to fix.


The car is 1948 Custom 8 The car was fully restored in 1999 and was only driven 100 miles since then. It was kept in a garage and barely touched. I do not know if these leakes are because of that.

Any suggestions of information on these three elements and when it is best to fix them are highly appreciated.

Thank you,
