Default Oil Leak......

What the hell does it mean when you have an oil leak from the output shaft of your Manual transmission besides it being time for a new one? Is it just a bad seal? Anyone have a similar thing happen?

It could mean many things. A bent output shaft, worn bearings (allowing the shaft to move laterally or up and down), the shaft may have a groove worn into it from the seal, or it may just be a bad seal.
