Hole in my gearbox??

[(B1) MR_fanny]

hey guys, i noticed some small oil spots(2) in the garage a couple days ago, decided to crawl under and check things out. one of the spots is obviously silicon leakin from the left radial rod(if thats what u call it). i was told that this was a common problem. the other oil spot seems to be commin from the engine somewhere, buildin up on the plastic underlay.

not to sure of the cause, then i check the gearbox where there was an obvious droplet buildup of oil commin from the seal. i wipe it off with my finger and discover a small rectangular hole right next to the seal. about the size of ur pinky finger. im freakin out cause im sure it was never there before, or i had never taken notice. i dont know if i have been drivin around with no oil in the gearbox and for how long. had the gearbox oil changed about 2 months ago by local mechanic, not sure if he was the cause of it. im freakin out....can anyone who's played with 33 gearboxes confirm if this hole is supposed to be there or not so i can sleep at night.

cheers!!
