With normal driving, I sometimes get a minor wift of gear oil, but when I give her hell, I get a nice big stench of it. Any ideas? It really stinks up the inside of the car, and it's nauseating. Its right around the shifter.

Also, I just recently took off the leather boot cause it TOTALLY stank of tranny oil. Well, it actually had oil on the boot near the top where the shift knob screws on. I checked for leaks all around the shifter, and there are none. Everything is bone dry, and seemingly ok. I need advice.  <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'>
