Default My car is afraid! HELP!!!! ASAP!

Well i came home today and my dad was like "hey are you leaking oil really bad?" i said no why? he points to the end of the drive way where i pulled in and there was a puddle. So after work tonight i pulled into the garage and put cardboard under the car and after 10 min...



Then i took these




Anyone have any ideas???? I just had my tranny rebuild about 5 months ago. I am also taking it to the trans shop and having them look at it, since they still have a warrenty on it. HELP!

Something didn't seal correctly. Take it back and have them fix it under warranty.

It looks like they didn't push the toque converter back all the way or that big metal plate behind it isn't sealed. Take it back if its still under warrenty.

HOPEFULLY GOOD NEWS! So dont laugh i was lazy. I took it to get an oil change. and they check all fluids... and Im thinking that they didnt put the dipstick for the tranny all the way down... causing it to over flow out the top and spill onto the case to the bottom. After furthur examination at the trans shop they couldnt find the leak anywhere (YET) So all you people that read this do me a favor and cross your fingers and knock on wood... DO IT! THANKS!

Hopefully everything is good. Either way if the tranny is still covered under warranty then they will have to fix whatever is wrong until its right. Thats what happened when I took my Ford Probe to a tranny shop for a mtx swap. They didnt do somethin right and it was leakin so next day I took it back and they were done in like 3 hours and it was fine. Warranty with parts like that = awesome!! lol

Broken diff pin supposedly = spining one tire and not both therefore not covered under warrenty. but were hoping its just the dipstick thing!
