I guess its a seal between the gearbox and passenger side driveshaft?
Can anyone confirm and let me know what the seal is called and any other info?
Thx in advance

Oil smells, almost certain its gearbox oil.

No doubt it is then, my drive shafts/CV joints looked exactly the same before I replaced the seals.Oil smells, almost certain its gearbox oil.
I think its reccommended to use specialty tools, but we managed by modifying/making tools ourselves.
This job definantly requires a hoist though.

Yeah mine was like that. That said I replaced the sump gasket, cleaned it up and most of that went away. I've never had to change the transaxle oil seal.
