Transmission Leak

[esse10]

They usually leak at the axle seals. You might just need to replace those. the axles come out easily after disconnecting them off the wheel rotors. You do need to remove all the fluid though before tapping the axles off.

This mechanic actually did both CV axles at the time of doing the clutch. He is very reliable so I trust he knows it is coming from the transmission. Mostly I am looking for anyone's experience with this slight of a leak from the transmission, and if it means it will need replaced anytime soon, which unfortunately would mean a new car for me. I did probably wait a little too long to replace the clutch, it was at about 225k miles and 3rd gear was slipping badly.
