As I say to the team I work with...there is no dumb question. Belittling someone keeps people from asking question and getting answers they need.

To answer your question Tenre, the intermediate shaft (IMS) bearing is in the engine block. It's location is totally separate from the gear box. The residual lubricant you encountered might be coming from a leaking rear main seal (RMS) and blowing down the bottom of the transmission as you drive.

If you smell the oil, old 90wt hypoid tranny oil stinks...if there's no smell then it's probably engine oil and an investigation as to it's origin is warranted.
