Default Rear end leak

As a novice, need some help to identify a leak in the rear of my 01 MN6. I notice a small puddle of pink/purple fluid under the rear of the drivers side. Any ideas where to start the search process?

Sounds like the ATF fluid is leaking from your manual transmission case or seals. Best have the fluid level checked ASAP to determine fluid loss rates. If you are seeing on the floor- it is possible that it's been spewing out under pressure while driving.

Go to a reputable Corvette knowledgeable repair shop and get it fixed.

Good Luck !

Thanks. I had a feeling that is what it was. I have an appointment tomorrow to have it looked at. Tried checking the level, but the directions in the owners manual are worthless.
