Default spots on garage floor - 2011 GC RT

Any thoughts on what is leaking? I don't believe it is oil, but perhaps tranny fluid? I do gett he dreaded shutter when changing gears but really only in Eco mode.

Not positive where it is coming from, but they are small (size of a dime to nickel) spots in the general area of the engine bay. No picture unfortuanately but will take some when I take it to the dealer.

UGH

Do the spots have a color? Drip some on a white rag or paper towel. Sweat or oily smell. Feel slimy? If they disappear it's A/C condensation. Left, right, forward, aft side of floor under the engine?

They haven't disapeared, thats for sure. They felt somewhat slimy. And hard to tell if they were front or aft, but definately middle for the most part.

Set up service apt for tomorrow so I'll let everyone know what comes of it.

I am being told it needs a new axle seal? Best part, it's been there all day and I just called and they want to keep it overnight! I said then I'll take a loaner and they said you don't have a loaner contract. WTF!!! What took you so long. He is talking to the tech now, but the tech leaves in a half hour. unreal.......

Hey barho - did they ever find (and/or solve) the oil leak problem?
