My 95 wagon with 2.2 engine and 227k miles, just sprung a moderate transmission fluid leak, dripping onto the catalytic converter a the drive-shaft. Fortunately there is still fluid showing on tip of dipstick. I put the car on ramps and cannot easily locate the source of the leak.

Any quick ideas as to the source of leak?

Also, it is an automatic transmission and diff fluid ok, appears to be leak at rear of a/t near what I think is drive-shaft universal joint?

After looking at the opposed forces illustrations, I see there is a rear seal there. I am guessing that could be it.

Has anyone replaced one of those?

Maybe check the power steering fluid??????? Could be a rack leaking.

Thanks for the suggestion-the power steering fluid id ok. I am now pretty sure it is dripping from the area where the drive-shaft connects to the rear of the transmission. I am trying to identify the correct part number for that seal.
