tranny leaking oil ?

Now that the engine is in, it appears that the tranny started leaking oil.
Since the car has the back on ramps, the oil is running forward and is dripping
on the floor through a hole in the tunnel, right under the shift coupler.

I took a look at it and it appears that the only spot where it could be leaking is where the shiftrod enters the tranny.
Should I be worried ? The car hasn't run for about a year, and has been in this (tilted) position all the time.

Can it be that it is just a dry seal which started to leak a bit now that the weight of the engine is on the tranny ?

Thanks,

Rob.
