Rear seal in the motor is probably gone... pull the inspection cover and
look to see if its dripping from the motor or the transmission input bearing
retainer if its thin oil and black its almost always the rear main seal
which if its a rope seal you may be able to change it without pulling to
much apart.
You have to ask the M35 Experts on that one.
