Mystery Gear oil leak...driving me nuts

So...rebuild #2 is complete and the car is running wonderfully...28-30mpg even, so I won't be buying a hybrid any time soon!!
BUT...I have a gear oil leak onto the exhaust...it's right at the back of the engine and oil is dripping off the bottom of the oil pump. It IS gear oil. Above the drips...it's dry. Oil seems to be getting thrown up from around the speedo cable area. I have resealed the speedo cable with silicon to no avail. It is NOT the left inner driver seal either...that's dry. Right one is good also. Is it poss that oil is escaping up the speedo cable and finding a way out? It is a minor leak...no drips on the driveway...it only leaks on the move...and but for the exhaust catching and burning the drips, you wouldn't notice much. But there is nothing smellier...or as nauseating as burning gear oil with the windows open!!!
Anyone?
