Default transmission oil leak

Has the Sceliphron caementarium cause any of your transmission to leak oil?

Fairly common

signs can be seep at the clutch cable, or tranny fluid travelling up the clutch cable and seeping at adjuster.

Increased pressure can cause seep at the end cover ( "trap door") seal- torque spec for the end cover bolts is now 25 ft lbs.

also check the lower bolts which mount the exhaust

It was a year ago, Mazda had problems with spiders block fuel venting hoses:
