Usually it is from the pinion shaft seal on the final drive. Even if it isn't, I would replace it while you are in there and check the bearings.
If not the pinion seal, then it is likely the carrier seal in the rear end. Look at the throwout tube and see if there is oil coming out of it, that will pretty much tell you.

it was the pinion shaft seal,who ever install it before used a hammer. the bearing look good, is it ok to change them without changing the races. thanks for advice do you sell the kit to rebuild the steering and what be shipping to alabama.
