Default Help Fluid Leakage

My Corvette 2003 Z06 has a leak coming from the rear between the two mufflers. The place that the leak is coming from looks like it made of fiberglass and it has a little hole in the middle. The fluid is lite yellow in color and it doesn't have any smell. Does any body know the name of this fiberglass box or know if a seal might have fallen off. I would like to know whats wrong with it before I take it to the dealer and the charge me a ton of $$$$$$$.

The part Im talking about also has a space that you can put a Chrome Exhaust Plate for design. My trackson control light on the dash came on also.

The fiberglass box you're referring to is simply the cubby in the bottom of the trunk. Pop the trunk and look inside. Do you see a spilled bottle of lemonade?
