While crawling under the front end doing an oil change & inspect I noticed a drop of oil on the rear torque cover by the tranny. It looked like motor oil in color not the red tranny stuff? I did see a lot of caked up old grease in the rear end and around the tranny pan gasket. Time for service I guess. The drop of oil I discovered was on this bolt. Floor is dry under the car. I had the car jacked up pretty high in the front for the oil change & later tilted the back up also to help drain the engine oil so I'm wondering where it may have originated from.

There, fixed it for you...

I think you clicked on the html from photobucket...

Next time copy the "direct link" and paste it here with [img] before the link and [/img] after it...

Or paste in in the yellow "insert image" icon above...
