gearbox fluid leaking from driveshaft?

[vinnY]

so i degreased the engine a couple nights ago to check for oil leaks
looks like i'm losing some gearbox fluid on the driver side where the driveshaft connects to the gearbox

now as far as i know it could be caused by either the oil seal(which i had just replaced less than a year ago) or the driveshaft just isn't pushed in far enough(looks like theres about a 4-5mm gap)

would there be any other causes? or am i just better off pulling the driveshaft off and taking a look?

4mm gap = drive shaft not in far enough.

yeah maybe
apparently i've pushed the seal too far in too, awesome

guess i'll buy another one tomorrow and pop the shaft out
fun times
