Default 07 mustang GT Trans Problems

Hey guys whats up, I've been reading and learning on this site for a long time now and just recently got the chance to register.... ok so the question,
well in july i bought a 07 mustang Gt and i've got 2100 miles on it and since i have had the car i've had to go to the dealership a bunch of times already to have things fixed..... blown right door speaker and kept getting a SES light which after 3 visits turned out to be a bad motor on the intake runner position sensor........ these i was going to the dealership with 600 miles on the car. After these were replaced everything was fine......... untill last week, i noticed oil stains in the garage in the center of the car, when i took it the car in they said it was a bad rear seal on the trans and ordered the part....... so wednesday i brought the car in and they replaced the seal, well today i get home from work and notice the damn oil on the floor again.....WTF??? Are these trans that bad or is there a biggier problem with my trans? I know somethings not right and now gonna have to wait till tuesday before i can get the car in again.... any suggesetions??

Auto or Stick?The manualtrannys usually crap out syncros and after some miles will develop a faint rattle which I suspect is the throwout bearing or maybe an input shaft bearing. When I save enough dough I plan on swappin a out for a viper specT-56 or TR6060(when the viper spec is avail). Only thing I like about manual trannys are the first 4 gear ratio.s

its a manual and its only got 2000 miles on it. Now that the cars got some miles on it, i dont drive an old lady but i dont beat the car at all...... very fustrating especailly on a new car. But i am gonna do the t-56 swap in the future too.

the rear main I would think is the rear main seal on the back of the engine and the trany has to be removed to replace the seal
is the oil red or brown/black
red = trany fluid
brown/black = motor oil/older motor oil

the oil isnt no where near the motor, when they had my car up, i went to that a look and the drip was very little but it was dripping and was the rear seal on the trans. I dont know, im just getting sick of going to the dealership already, i've had the car since july and had the car in the shop about ten times already.

also, the oil is very thick, so im thinking it cant be motor oil, the motor oil is 5w20 right? and thats pretty thin, isnt the tranny fluid pretty thick?
