[s-cars] Whats leaking? Between gearbox and torsen..

[Ivan Demkovitch]

I'd say thick and slippery. I didn't left any brake fluid during flash. Or even if I did...
This leak was there before.
 
I have mechanic notes from PO, he inspected this car last February.

I'm sure it will be obvious with tranny out. Just wanted to gather some info upfront since this is daily driver and I don't really want to leave it on a lift waiting for more parts.

I flushed brake fluid about 4-5 months ago. Fluid coming out of slave looked "original" as it was all contaminated. May be it's slave leaking (I will be happy if it is) - but Brake fluid reservoir still full where I left it at.
Is it possible that you could have left a puddle of fluid up there that has since washed down the side of the trans. Seems unlikely that a leak from the torsen could migrate up on to the trans mounting arm which is also wet with the same fluid. You should get a better idea once the trans is out. Was the fluid thick and slippery (trans oil) or thin and watery (brake fluid)?
