Had a look at the gearbox this evening. It appears the output shaft seal is leaking despite having it replaced last year. The rear area is covered in oil. The front also leaks a little, but not enough to cause a drip at the moment. Strange that a new seal would leak immediately, but I suppose it is possible it got damaged during install.

I did pull the speedometer wire and changed the o-ring on it. It wasn't in great condition, but I don't believe it was leaking. Regardless, a fresh one is installed now. Removing it from the gearbox was very easy. Installing it tested my patience. Very little room to get the screw back in.

Looks like I have to prepare for a gearbox removal in order to get this sorted properly.
