Gearbox oil leaking at the back of my speedo - RA28

why the fudge did this happen??
I jumped in the car this morning and noticed a small wet patch on the floor mat, i felt it and it was oily. Fair enough it smelt like gearbox oil. Weird. So i checked to see where it came from and it had come from behind the speedometer guage, where the speedo cable meets it at the rear. The car hasnt been driven since saturday night.
Now i thought - perhaps my gearbox oil level is too high.... take out the filler plug, and not a drip comes out - the level is fine.
So is there some kind of oil seal in the speedo drive gear? Or in the speedo cable.. or even in the speedo guage itself that could be causing this leak?? Hell i thought gearbox oil would have no reason to travel up the speedo cable.
Help muchly appreciated, i dont like smelly interiors.
