What colour is the oil ??

Is it engine oil or gear oil

Both will need the gearbox removing or engine i would not sujest this if you are a novice mechanic.

If its the rear main engine oil seal you have got a massive job on your hands

It is easer to take the engine out than mess with the box (thats my opinion)
