GEARBOX OIL SEAL,
Discussion
It's possible your oil may not be coming from the G/B rear seal, but higher up from the notoriously poor 'remote shaft' seal, it's just a small 'o' ring inside the rear housing.
Clean everything thereabouts at the rear, go for an enthusiastic drive to get the oil splish/sploshing, innardly, and inspect the rear cover for point of egress.
If it is the upper 'remote' seal, very easily dealt with, fold and drape a length (say 4" X 18") of terry towelling over the shaft and tuck the hanging loose ends into the rear cross-member.
The resulting 'nappy' will not catch on anything nearby.
The amount of oil lost is minimal and gets less as the oil level drops.
Indeed, over-filling is the main reason for much splashing of oil inside.
Three benefits:-
. nil oil drips on parking space
. very easy to do
. inspect and change the 'nappy' annually when you check the oil level
Oh yes, don't over fill.
