MK3 focus transmission case cover oil leak

I've noticed signs of an oil leak between the black cover and the transmission (manual), it appears that there is a gasket in between.

Can anyone confirm if in fact the leak would be due to the gasket failing and is it a DIY repair or should I take it to the garage.

    Bump, anyone come across this issue?

    You will probably get more response if you mention which engine / transmission type combination you have.

    The picture on the other hand is not particularly helping much. I have quite some experience with the Focus MK3 but it is hard to tell what exactly I am looking at.

    It's a MK3 focus 1.6 zetec petrol manual transmission hatchback 

    I believe the leak is coming from the gasket item 7223 pic attached
