manual trans fluid
i have a leak and it almost looks like baby oil in a way...anyone have a clue what it could be? it was leaking from around the transmission area....sorry if this sound like a stupid question but i havent ever dealt with any transmission problems or the fluid in a transmission before......

it has no smell at all...and i really believe the very very small yellowish tint was from all the pollen on the garage floor...its leaking right around where the xpipe connects at the end to the mufflers

so like the tailshaft area? if its leaking from the tailshaft its more than likely trans fluid and the tailshaft bushing is bad. grab your drive shaft towards the front U joint and give it a good shake... it really shouldnt move much.
