The speedo cable goes into a housing that bolts to the trans and has a large O-ring around it. Over time the plastic housing deteriorates and fluid seeps past the oring as well as the housing. GM sell new housings (now made of aluminum) for a whopping 60 bucks. The O-ring costs about $2

Not hard but be prepared for more tranny fluid to come out when you remove the housing.
