Morning all,

Hoping someone can help with some advice/guidance.

The Mrs has an 08 Toyota Yaris VVti Auto - there is a very slow leak (literally a couple of drops of oil a day) coming from under the car. We returned it to the dealer that it was purchased from and they said they fixed it (which they haven't) - can anyone advise on what the issue is with this/where the leak is coming from - I am thinking it could be the driveshaft seal (might be wrong) - if this is the case, I assume its just a case of removing the drive shaft from the passenger side, remove the old seal and put a new one in?

Any help appreciated

Second picture - under the two bolts you can see a couple of drips. They seams to be coming from the main seal then down the case
 
It's the lowest part of the transmission so that's a difficult one!
Transmission oil normally has a distinctive fruity smell.......any clues there?
