Getrag 260 Leak From Carrier Bearing?

[gilber33]

Hey guys. I did the input and output shaft seals in the transmission a few years ago, but towards the end of last year I started getting a few drips of trans fluid out the bottom of the car. I pulled the transmission and there was a clear leak coming from somewhere. Now, when I did the seals I was new to e30s so if I messed something up or wasn't as thorough as I should have been, I wouldn't be suprised. I did use Curil on the mating surface. But, for whatever reason, I questioning if the leak is actually coming from the input shaft seal or from the bearing retainer o-ring. I could only find one forum post in all of my internet digging that mentions a leak from this spot.

I know anything is possible, or am I looking at fluid that is running over this from the input shaft making it look like it's leaking.

Looking at this other picture of it when I removed it, the area above the bearing cover looks equally as wet, so maybe it truly is coming from the input shaft.
