There's tranny fluid come out of this bolt, and basically wanted to know what tool do I use to tighten it? (ps the one by the sensor with the black thing on it) that's where its leaking.

use a 1/2 Drive without any kind of socket, its just a 1/2 square. If thats the MT tranny drain plug anyway.

Put a little teflon tape on it first.

Is it the fill plug? Its a 17 mm socket, and put some threadlocker/RTV on the threads.

On second look is that a 5spd trans? It should be a 17 mm square but it looks fucked up in the pic? :wtf: :duh:

Well only plug I know of on the side of the tranny is the fill plug. Which should be a 17 mm sqaure protruding out. Maybe get a direct picture of it (close up), because it looks like yours is either broken off or horribly stripped. :eek3:

just find the tool that fits it. It doesnt take an entire internet full of people that want more posts to figure out how to tighten a nut, bolt, various fastener or plug.
