Oil Leaking

Hi
I noticed a leak of red oil under the car (driver side)
It's coming from the plate under feul tank, is that a common problem in C6? do you think it's coming from the A/T or the differential carrier?

You can see more here

That far forward and a puddle, my best guess would be A.T. pump seal.

I removed the steel plate under the driver side fuel tank I figured that's not an oil! it was a fuel but we couldn't fined out where it's come from, the good news it's stopped leaking even if the tank is full.

sorry, but there is no healing process? There must be a reason for the leak and it will be back?

Have it taken to a shop, especially if it stopped leaking and good luck. Red oil is not fuel or engine oil and w/o a dipstick, how much ATF is still inside?

last night I was in the workshop to check this problem, the smell of that fluid is a fuel but with a viscous texture! I'll check a gain after 2-3 days also I'll check the ATF which I don't think it's the problem from the trans.
