Just got back from a 4,500 mile roadtrip without incident.� However, when parked in the garage, I noticed a leak on the concrete floor.� Looked up there....definitely leaking from the interface between inner CV Joint and 4 speed manual transmission.� Wiped the floor clean, and next day a new spot (about 4 inches in diameter) reappears WITHOUT having started engine or moving vehicle.� So not good news.....

I recently (about 6,000 miles ago) new Axles (Lobro CV Joints, rebuilt by GoWesty) on both sides.� I did add CV grease to the exterior of the new joints; they were wiped clean for shipping and GoWesty concurred that they needed additional CV grease.� I used 1 tube for all 4 joints when I did the installation.� Did I overdo it and blow out a seal of some kind?� Or just coincidence?

I had previously (about 30,000 miles ago) replaced the original gear oil with Redline MT-90 per List wisdom.� Car and motor and transmission all have now 186,000 of gentle freeway miles mostly.� Everything shifts, runs, sounds normal.

So, before I head to the mechanic, I wanted to get some advice....what is the probable problem, and what is the probable fix?� Can it be done with transmission in place and still connected to engine?� Any idea of what this might cost?
