Thanks for the tip, David. I hadn't heard of RE 910's.

I did take a quick look underneath, and the leak doesn't appear to be coming from any of those locations (input shaft/bell housing, or axles).

Seems to be coming from the stamped steel cover that goes over the 5th gearset on the end of the transaxle.
