The fluid would appear to be coming from the top pad of the gear stick!!

could be a matrix seal leak as i take it you mean it's coming from infront of the gear stick, what year is your elite :-?

Is this coming from the black rubberised gear knob itself?  Never cut one open, but could there be some sort of "gel" in there?  :-/
