The cable screws on to a thing called the bullet. It has a seal in the middle for the gear to ride on and an o-ring around the outisde of the bullet. It could be either leaking.

Best bet is to buy a new bullet, which will come with both seals installed. Besides, over they years, the inside of the bullet usually gets worn sloppy by the gear spinning inside it. A new seal usually won't fix one that is worn. That's why, usually, replacement is the best option.
