You are really going to have to give some more info. Do just a little homework on your own and check your basic fluids. P/S, engine oil, coolant. Might help to mention which area the leak is coming from. The oil in your tranny has nothing to do with your speedo.

P.S. This is why no one has replied. You couldn't have possibly been more vague with your question.

the last I checked the speedo uses a mechanical gear attached to a sensor and if you ran it out of fluid it should still work. You need to get the car in the air to tell us where it is coming from. PS do NOT drive it. How big is the leak? Are you sure its from the transmission if so whre is it leaking.

Gear oil has nothing to do with the speedo gear shaft. It lubricates the gear but thats about it. Either your tach on the cluster failed or the shaft has some how kinked or broken all together. As far as the supposed "gear oil" you can identify gear oil instantly due its viscosity. Its a lot thicker than engine oil you should be able to merely touch the pool rub coated finger to an opposing finger and be able to identify it. It also in some cases will have a more pungent odor than motor oil. It could be as simple as an axle seal. It shouldn't be hard to find out where its coming from. Oil is not exempt from the law of gravity. Liquids follow a direct path downward. Find the origin of the pool trace it up the trans and you find the leak. Another way is to park the car and tape several sheets of white paper together and tape it to the ground underneath your engine bay. Let it sit for a while and check it. If you see a drip pattern on the paper look directly up in relation to the location of the drips. You can follow the oil trail pretty easily to the source. Cleaning the tranny makes it even easier to trace it up. I hope this helps you...

P.S I absolutely hate your front bumper
