Ah, manual tranny.

And how heavy was this leak when you noticed it? I'm guessing a drop or two once you parked? It's been like two weeks. I don't know how much you drive it but you probably wouldn't have lost much oil at all in that time...

Your best bet is to degrease it, take it for a short drive and then look around. Do that and report back

If you're losing a lot of fluid you'd feel it in shifting and hear more noise. But you could always top off the transmission to the fill hole and check it every few days. You'll have to stick a finger in there to see
