The transaxle is filthy, pretty much covered in oil from top to bottom. It's going to take a good steam cleaning to get the crud off. I'm not planning on tear-down this go-round but at some point I'm going to have to get into it and replace the gaskets. It seems like the bulk of the oil is coming from the front, maybe from the shift rod or speedo drive? All I know is it's a filthy little pig.
