Mine leaks there also. I'm pretty sure that's where the speedometer connects.
Maybe just a bit of RTV or gasket material should do the trick.

Speedo cable. You need to get a new rubber oring and put it in. You should be able to find a package of orings of various sizes at your local parts store. Just put in the correct size and it should seal up your leak.

It shouldn't leak. I don't remember what it's like down there but I replaced my cable and I'd remember if it poured all over my head. I also have the C6. That thing should screw right off and then right on again.

I don't think it will. I have a c4 in mine and when I put in a new cable and gear it just dribbled a little bit from where it was on the gear when I pulled it out. Search on the tranmission section which is located down on the forums list. You should be able to find more answers there. Hope this helps you.
