Leak between inner CV joint and gearbox

I seem to have a slight gearbox oil leak coming from between the inner CV joint and the gear box. Thought it was just the seal but Brickwerks tell me the 2WD van didn’t have a seal only the Syncro.
Checked the gearbox oil and it isn’t low at all so it either can’t be losing a lot or it’s not coming from there.
Does anyone have any thoughts, suggestions or help please? Cheers.

I'm pretty sure the gearbox does have output shaft/diff seals.
I replaced both sides on my auto using BW parts although mine where auto specific.
these are the seals for the manuals

unless you mean it's leaking from the joint between the frive flange and the inner cv joint ????

I have the same on mine only a few years after a rebuild, I assume the flanges are grooved so a new seal may not solve the problem forever.
You can fit a sleeve
