Try backing the tranny out of the bell and check the front retainer bearing. Typically we see leaks there. On rare occasions I have seen the countershaft cap leak but not very often.
If it is the front retainer, hold the input shaft and remove the 4 bolts holding the retainer, and slide it off of the input. Whatever you do, do not pull the input out or let it come out. There are 17 needle bearings at the base of it and if you move the input out of the case they will almost always fall into the main case. Then you will have big problems
Once the retainer is removed, clean off the old sealant and clean the mating surface on the case and re-seal it with Anerobic Sealer #518 made by Loctite available at your local parts store. Be sure to line up the
Oil Pocket on the inside of the bearing retainer with the
oil hole on the top of case(12:00 o'clock position where the retainer meets the case). BE SURE TO RE-USE THE EXACT AMOUNT OF SHIMS THAT ARE GOING TO BE INSIDE THE RETAINER WHEN YOU REMOVE IT. Or once again you will have problems(mostly just noise and slop).
Hope this helps, if I can be of further assistance, please let me know.
