Just hit 1k miles on my HC.
Noticed a small puddle of red fluid on garage floor, under rear of vehicle, just to the left (driver side) of diff, near exhaust pipe.

Everything seems to be dry. Have no idea where it's coming from.
So far as I know, the only red fluid is transmission, which is in front.
Any ideas before doing the dealer trip?

 

Are you sure it didn't leak out of something else?????

So far as I know, there isn't anything back there for the fluid to leak FROM.......

 

I know! That's why it's so strange! Honestly thought I spilled some Marvel Mystery Oil since it's same color & consistency. But no, definitely not a spill after I saw it a second time after parking in garage overnight.

 

That's just bizarre. The fluid isn't running down from something else, and just dripping off there is it? Can you see what its dripping from????

 

Crawled under there this morning to take a closer look.
Left rear axle where it connects to boot seems to be a bit wet.
Still doesn't explain why fluid is red.

 

Your puddle appears to be forward of the rear axles though. What's the funny little box that looks like it is connected to the exhaust there? Not leaking out of that is it??

 

Turn the vehicle around and leave it parked again.

 

Took her out for a spin. Parked in garage. Placed white plastic underneath left rear. Started dripping in 5 minutes.
Placed camera directly under leak.
And unless I'm color blind, it is red fluid.

 

Brake fluid is the only option from that location. Check your master cylinder, see what the level is.
