It could have came from a breather hose but it could also be from the steering system or one of the transmission lines.

Thanks for the response.

It's oozing out from the seal where the front pipe joins the gearbox. I drained out a cupfull of fluid and now doesn't leak at idle. But it is still leaking when driven.

I find the trans dipstick useless, it always has fluid smeared along the whole length - impossible to read the level. I always try to measure the amount that I drain out and put approximately the same amount back in. It normally takes about 5 litres (which means there is another 4L of dirty fluid still in the trans somewhere!). I might drain a little more out and if that doesn't work then I'll change the seal.
