the most common causes include:

Worn-out input shaft seal – Leaks between the engine and gearbox.

Damaged output shaft o r axle seal – Leads to leaks where the driveshaft connects to the transmission.

Cracked transmission casing – Often due to impact damage o r age-related stress.

Overfilled transmission fluid – May cause overflow from the breather.

Fix: Replacing seals o r gaskets usually solves the issue. Catch leaks early to avoid damage to the clutch manual o r internal gears AMT.
