The transmission is leaking gear lubricant from the bolt that is directly accross from the oil pan drain plug. It appears to be a 13MM bolt head. The bolt has a 13MM head, is about 1/2 inch long, a pointed tip, and it cannot be tightened. I backed the bolt off and there were some metal shavings around it. I have two questions! Does this sound like the correct bolt-I would think that the bolt would have a flat or butt end on it and not a pointed tip. Also, would thread lock or something similar applied to the bolt allow it to be tightened to a degree where I can get the drop leak stopped? Lastly, if it needs to be tapped, does anyone know what size tap I would need? Thanks

Correct-I did not pop the hood before I left for work today. Would I see the gas on the side of the engine if it were a leaky injector?

I just purchased a 1989 Comanche. It has the I-6 engine, 5-speed manual, and 4-wheel drive. The truck smells like gasoline even though there is no gas leaking (none on ground below truck). Have any of guys experienced this before? Any suggestions? I will post pictures this weekend.
