Dirtiest rear end ever?
So the past 2 weeks I've been doing some work on my car, and this was the first time I've had it up off the ground since I bought it last summer. This is what I found:
and after a few hours of cleaning:
I'm thinking it could be the driver side output shaft seal since it's so common, but I never suspected anything since I've never had a single drop of fluid leak onto my driveway. At least now that it's clean, if there is a leak, I will be able to see it
BTW... Super Clean > purple power > simple green

With all the fluid on the pan I think there may be a leak other than the shaft seal. Unless you drive in reverse really fast.
One of the experts will chime in soon. I'm still a rookie and learning.
The clean up looks good.

May be but looks like a trans pan gasket to me. May want to put it back up in the air and check the level. The car can get about almost 2 qts low befor it starts to slip.... Robert

Really man check the trans it may do some damage if it to hot on you even if it doesnt slip. That is a good amount of fluid over time as slow as it is leaking man..... Robert

Doesn't really look like the rear diff leak that is common - looks more like it could be transmission related or the seal between the tranny and the differential.
