Doesn't seem like a constant leak. Clean it up and see if the leak returns and if so, get a replacement coupler joint (yoke). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take it to a transmission place for them to at least diagnose where the leak might be coming from before you make any purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then check again. Oil will spray around with the rotation of the yoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
