Or what appears to be the rear main seal, coming from between the motor and transaxle. Is this common? Its a co-workers car and I'm trying to give her an idea. The car has only 40k miles on it. Is it something else? thanks.

 

Check to make sure it isn't coming from somewhere else and just running down to the transmissions bell housing.[sm=smiley2.gif]

 

They leak real bad when they start leaking, if it's not the head gasket it probably is the rear main.I do side work[sm=smiley2.gif]
