i have some sort of leak and i don't know what it is. the liquid is pretty slimmy with little to no color -> clear. (it might have a slight tint of dark oil color to it in some places). the leak is near the oil pan. overnight, the puddle becomes about say, 8cm in diameter. the fluid has no smell to it.
do you guys know what it could be? i can't find where its leaking from even if i go under the car. the car runs fine too. My friend says it could be transmission. help me please! -------------------- PROJECT 6TH GEN

If its tranny oil - the only way there is fluid coming from the axles is if the seal between the axle and tranny has gone bad.
The axle itself cant leak unless the CV boot is torn, where it would be grease, not oil. -------------------- |
