Default This Feckin car! now have Gearbox oil leak!

I have just finished fitting a rebuilt engine and recon box, got the car home last night and noticed box oil on the exhaust and on the driveshaft How can I sort this? must be a seal between the driveshaft and the box, is the seal inside the box or on the shaft?

you have to take the drive shafts out then you will be able to see them mate then lever them out with something and put new ones in and that should solve it
