I have been leaking gearbox fluid from the shifter tower and yesterday i noticed that the exhaust under the central crossmember is wet by the fluid. Until i get it fixed is there any serious problem like cathing fire because the fluid gets in touch with a hot exhaust? :thinking::thinking::thinking::eek::eek::eek:

Although it's not common, I've seen a couple of fires from oil on exhaust. It's only been near the manifold or cat converter though where it gets really hot. Post some pics of the leak and the exhaust that's getting the residue on it.
