Is it engine oil or transmission oil?

Is it on the bell housing or coming out of the drain of the housing?

If it's on the bell housing and on the front of it then It's most likely engine oil off the engine and the problem is somewhere else.

Take the bung out of the bottom of the bell housing and make sure no oil is coming out of there to start off.

If that checks out then clean (degrease) your engine thoroughly, go for a drive for 30 minutes and then try to find out where It's leaking from?

Could also be the rocker cover leaking at the rear.

Do you park it on level ground mate?

[Fairlane]

yes it parks on level ground but i have only had it for three days!

Oil on front of bell housing could be dripping from anywhere from engine whilst driving.

Did you clean the engine today mate?

The rocker cover bolts can leak to, not just the cover to head gasket/rubber.
Had a similar problem on TB42 it was either the rocker bolts or rear of head gasket.
I suspect mine was head gasket as silicon didn't help rocker cover at all.
hope yours is else where.
