What do you mean? From around the slip in yolk, where it meets the seal or from the back of the slip in yolk?

There is a seal in the tail shaft housing that can cause your leak. It can be replaced easily. Just remove the drive shaft, pry the old one out carefully and drive the new one in. Some times there will be a worn ring around the yoke. You can get a seal with a wear ring that gos on the yoke so the new seal doesn't leak.
