Have you recently had your clutch changed?
Best bet is to steam clean the underneath of the engine and gearbox and (if you are not runnning an empty gearbox) take the car for a run.
When you get back, it should show exactly where the oil is leaking from- then you can work out what is wrong...

Get it hot, then if possilble get it on a ramp then clean off the oil and work out where its coming from.
Depending on what work you've had done recently I.E. clutch, it will be in the bellhousing, or I.E. replacement halfshaft it may be a diff seal or just check something hasn't cracked the casing from the under side.

check that the gearbox breather cap is on the right way round, if not it will leak.
There is a picture of this in the Technical Gallery.

searching is fruitful | I'm a sponge not a mechanic | please do try that if stuck with a Puma problem whilst waiting for a reply | For the Puma fan this read 'The Inside Story Book' is very nice to own sometimes still seen for sale
