Subject:Re: : Hi list. 90 syncro bad leak stuck in parking lot

I'm not clear if you're referring to a Syncro but on the 2WD, there is
a seal between the transaxle input shaft and body of clutch housing.
Gear oil can leak from there.

If gear oil is leaking at the input shaft seal, you may be looking at
some clutch work.
