There's tranny fluid come out of this bolt, and basically wanted to know what tool do I use to tighten it? (ps the one by the sensor with the black thing on it) that's where its leaking.

thanks

use a 1/2 Drive without any kind of socket, its just a 1/2 square. If thats the MT tranny drain plug anyway.

Put a little teflon tape on it first.

my fault not the drain plug the one left of it..

Is it the fill plug? Its a 17 mm socket, and put some threadlocker/RTV on the threads.

On second look is that a 5spd trans? It should be a 17 mm square but it looks fucked up in the pic?

Well only plug I know of on the side of the tranny is the fill plug. Which should be a 17 mm sqaure protruding out. Maybe get a direct picture of it (close up), because it looks like yours is either broken off or horribly stripped.

just find the tool that fits it. It doesnt take an entire internet full of people that want more posts to figure out how to tighten a nut, bolt, various fastener or plug.
