gearbox leak - Vectra-Sport

Hi guys

had a look under my GSI this evening and saw I have an oil leak on the gearbox (trans fluid) are there any known common problems?

I'm hoping the filler or drain plugs need a tighten,I think I may have to book in for a major service very soon,get all the belts done too,gulp
