Sooo…yesterday I took the Rally on a pretty awesome ride and when I was loading her to bring back to the casa I noticed an interesting "leak". Oil seemed to be leaking out from under the gear selector box cover. Never had this one before. Got her back and up on the lift and will be looking into it today.

Pic doesn't really show the goo coming out, but I tried.

With the heat of the day now, it may be just some of the grease under the cover thinning out and flowing......But while you are there, check the torque on the nuts at the gear selector.

Kinda what I was thinking as well. These do get a bit warm and especially so in the desert of Az.

Pulled the cover and couldn't find anything else, so going with that. Just need to find the proper cover for selector box now.
