Default Cause for concern?

Noticed this when changing my clutch fluid last night, everything seems dry but the oil you can see is still wet.

Should I be worried?

Invisable picture so can't comment on the oil.

I can't figure it out either - I even turned the pic upside down and it made a bit more sense. It looks like the gearbox to prop shaft coupling to me - do they have grease in ? Not sure what that nipple is though

Yeah I would say that's it. (the second link posted)

There are Allen headed bolts holding the covers on the ends of the Propshaft, make sure these are tight (you'll need to drop the prop, make sure you mark it first!)

Sorry, should have said. Its near the prop shaft, felt around and everything is dry - so it must be flying out?

Will check out the links
