Hey everyone, my '99 GSX has been leaving an oil spot in the garage. Haven't been driving it but I have moved it outside several times so I had room to work on things in the garage. Didn't leak a single drop in the summertime whatsoever. Anyone know if the oil seals for the 1/2 shafts or the oil seal for the tcase shrinks when it's cold out. Seems to leak just sitting in the garage. It does not have to be running to leak. Crawled under it tonight but I can't pinpoint the leak. It seems to be oozing down where the tcase connects to the tranny.
Thanks for any info.
