Prior to putting dye in the gearbox, smell the leaking oil. If it's from the
gearbox, it will have a sulfur smell (assuming you are using gear oil in the
gearbox). Regular engine oil has no sulfur smell. If you have a sample of
the gear oil you are using that would be even better to compare against the
leaking fluid.
