I think I broke something changing the handbrake cable as I now have a small, but consistent oil leak but I can't figure out where it's coming from.

When I replaced the handbrake cable I lifted the tunnel to give me a few inches of access and ever since I've noticed this leak.

I really doesn't appear to be coming from the gearbox - even though that would appear to be the obvious location (to me at least).

I've run my hands everywhere I can reach and tried to follow all the lines without success.

My current theory is that by lifting the tunnel I may have dislodged the engine oil lubrication system for the suspension and maybe caused a leak there. Does that sound reasonable ? I was planning on removing this at some point due to the feedback I found on this site.

All suggestions, criticisms and other feedback are welcome and deserved .
