Driveshaft yoke

I never saw this before but I have transmission fluid leaking out of my yoke by the u-joint ? The tail shaft seal is completely dry, could the yoke have a rust hole in it ? Thanks for any advice.

On the 1965 and newer cars,,,.
The yoke has a "plug" similar to a freeze plug in the center...
Sometimes they get rusty and can leak..
Remove driveshaft
Remove yoke from driveshaft
Knock out current plug
Carefully tap in a new plug

You could try putting some kind or goop like silicone inside of it...
However, that is like a band-aid on a broken arm....

Thanks Xenon , that’s what it looks like.

Seems like some of those plugs have a small hole in the middle them so air can be released as the yoke moves into the tailshaft housing?
