Default Trans leak - XJ6 S1 BW Model 12

Hi all. Trans oil is dripping down from the rear gearbox mount. I have cleaned everythng immaculately and the oil is definitely coming straight down (not flowing from anywhere else.
Does anyone have a cross-section of the rear gearnox mount (is how the bolt fits into the gearbox?).
Cheers,
Michael

This scribe might help..
Your style is at the bottom.

Memory, where have you gone?

On the V12's with that trans, the bolt threaded into the extention housing, and a Nut??? I think, locked in place, which also included the spring top seat bearing disc/washer.
Same for teh BW65/66 in the 6cyl later cars.

My 3 with that trans all leaked a bit from the trans modulator, LH rear corner. Running the 1/2 a ltr down, got a few drips per week, maybe, or none.
