GQ gearbox leak from bellhousing

[AB]

After arriving home yesterday from the meet up I noticed oil leaking from the bellhousing as per photo below.

100% confirmed It's gearbox oil so can only assume the seal has gone in the gearbox and leaked into the bell housing?

Not sure why It's that dirty either as It's only 15k old but anyway.

Took the breather off and blasted air through the line, noticed a small amount of dirt come out the end at the top which may have been the cause????

Next step before dropping the box would be to clean it all up, change the oil and see what happens.

Although the photo looks bad the oil level is still full so it hasn't leaked a great deal.

My questions are...Is it possible after doing 5000 hard kilometres towing the camper caused it to heat up and????....Breather might of been blocked too so once cleaned out will this be fixed....Yep, trying for the easy options first....LMAO

Any other things to do/check, etc or ideas are welcomed!!!

Not looking forward to this one!!!!

are you able to drop that inspection plate at the bottom of the bell housing and have a look inside, you may need an inspection mirror to get a visual on you main shaft seal????

Looks like a rear main. What colour is the oil?

From what I read here every one says change rear main at the same time you change clutch, you done a boo boo??
Also is your bellhousing tight, no shuddering on way home???
