Gearbox Oil Leak

Hello All-
I have narrowed down (somewhat) the source of a gearbox oil leak in my '85
900S, 5sp. The oil leaks out from the inspection hole at the bottom of the
flywheel housing. You can see the teeth on the bottom of the flywheel
through this opening. The oil drips out of that opening when the car is
moving.

It also only seems to leak when the drivetrain is under a load. I had the
car on jackstands and ran the engine with the trans. in gear for about 15
minutes, and no oil dripped out. When I dropped it off the jackstands and
drove it a quarter mile, it was dripping when I drove it back into the
garage. I thought that perhaps the raised angle of the car with the front on
jack stands may have kept the oil from dripping out, but when I lowered the
front end back down and let the car sit for several minutes, no leak.

Any ideas for me? Thanks

Jim in Ada, MI
