Leak from somewhere..
I noticed what appears to be an oil leak (may be trans fluid) from the back of my motor. I had a recent oil change and it looks like they overfilled it a bit. I also changed my radiator to a DeWitts the next day, but I don't see any leaks from there. But the leak is definitely in the back of the motor and I am seeing a lot of fluid on the exhaust.
I have never checked the level of fluid in my trans. The fluid is definitely a brown color.
Any suggestions on where to start?
I have a 98 C5, with an A4 automatic trans. I run Amsoil in my engine with 165k miles. It may just be a head gasket, but it appears to be on both sides of the FRCs.
Thanks.

Since the tranmisson is in the rear of the car, I think it safe to say the fluid in question is not transmission fluid. Sounds like you should take your car to a shop you can trust.
