Gearbox sump drain plug.

Has the gearbox oil been changed recently or the car been in for a service?

Will probably need a new washer on the plug, or they havent fitted one, catch the oil if its fresh in a clean container fix the plug then refill it.

I would look higher up as it looks like there is more oil further up the box.
