i was under my car last nite - all i have are ramps to pull it onto - because my oil pressure switch is leaking a little oil and i am leaking gear oil from the tranny somewhere.

I thought it was coming from either the striking rod oil seal or where the tranny seal is but after wiping and cleaning the area it seems it may be coming from a little higher up - around where the passenger side axle seal is.

Does anyone have a picture, from under the car looking up, of where the passenger side axle goes into the tranny? it is just to the left of the y-pipe and the crossmember if you are directly below it looking up. Ill try and get a pic and post it.

The reason why i ask is because it looks like there is a metal piece that is out of place. I have nothing to reference it from so thats why i am asking for the pic.

Thanks in advance and sorry if the wording is confusing, i really dont know how better to describe what i am looking for.

That metal piece is your dust shield. should be 1/8" or ~3mm from touching the seal.

mine is def more than 3mm away from the seal. i gotta get my car elevated and recheck.

I was guestimating, at any rate its not the seal.

Finally got a good look at it and the leak is coming from the passenger side tranny seal. The seal is visibly torn which is causing the leak.

Anyone have the part number from Nissan for the passenger side tranny seal?

Advanced Auto Parts stocks National, any good?

Autozone stocks Timken, any good?

I have a 5 speed, which one should I get? I need to pick one up tomorrow and change this bad boy so my car stops leaking and wreaking of tranny fluid!
