So it would appear that I didn't do the best job in the world sealing the bell housing to the gearbox (have a feeling it was not cleaning the old sealant off well enough). Anyhow there are definitely a few drops of oil on the garage floor below this interface. When looking under the car it actually looks like the leak is from the large bolt that holds the two half casings together (the one that runs between the two shafts - circled in picture) but i don't see how this would be possible so maybe this could just be where the oil is collecting after seeping through the joint.
So the question is do I need to pull the gearbox and disconnect the bell housing and do a better job at sealing it? or could I clean up the joint on the outside and apply some sort of sealant there?
Thanks for the help in advance (just once I thought it had gone so well)
