Default woke up to a puddle of OIL

Hey guys, I woke up to a tiny puddle of oil the size of CD... I looked on other spots where i usualy park and I noticed the CD size spots in 3 or 4 different places where I leave my car overnight. So i looked underneath my car and I saw a oil leak from my manual tranny. A tiny drop hanging in the middle section. Most likely its my axle leaking. So I would be looking into getting it fixed before all my oil leaks out. How much does it usually run to fix it? I know the seals themselves are only a copla dollars but what about labor? What would i be looking at? Thanks.

I'm leaking oil out of transmission. Cus thats what i have in it. A regular 10W 30 oil. I know honda recommends something else but the shop that did my auto to manual transmission swap said its OK to use 10w30 in Honda Manual trannies. So I need help figuring out where exactly is the oil leaking from... O ring on the tranny, seals, etc....

its probably your tranny seal where ur axle sits on. Labor shouldn't be more than 100 bucks.

the shop that did my h22 swap put that in my tranny and i didnt know til a week later and i started grinding gears....called him up and asked what fluid was put in, he said reg 10w30...changed it out to syncromesh immediately....

and as for the leak, i had my main seal in the tranny go, when i replaced my clutch they took of the tranny and there was oil all over the clutch/flywheel
