Leaks!

Ok, so I got my engine leak sorted out. Thanks for all your suggestions guys. It ended up being my valve covers were leaking back down the back of the engine so it just looked like the rear main seal, but it wasnt.

But, now it looks like my tranny is leaking. From multiple places. Sigh.

Its a good 'ol manual 3 speed. And it looks like it is leaking from the seals near where it mounts to the engine, and it leaks at the cover plate, and it leaks from where the speedo cable attaches. At this rate the leaking might stop all by itself when it runs out of oil. I dont see any way to change and/or top off the tranny fluid. Is this a sealed unit? Do I really need to drop the thing to fill it up with oil? If thats the case it would make more sence to drop it and rebuild it. And if I need to rebuild it I might as well replace it. And if I need to replace it I might as well go with an auto. And if I want and nice new auto I prolly should get one with overdrive. Actually, I dont know where Im going with this post. Please ignore my ravings.
