"Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. While Dave has got the car up in the air, the customer was asking him, hey what's this? So they're chasing down an oil leak. So you saw some oil there back on the transmission mount but go ahead and look up way in the thing as you're driving down the road, anything that leaks is going to spray the oil back towards the back of the car. So he's looking here for different potential leaks here. There's one bolt there that has a seal on it and he thinks there's where most of the oil might be coming from. It's obviously not coming from the axle seal there. So the wind is blowing the oil back from that little seal there. So he's going to grab a wrench and give it a turn and see if that helps out. It's a minor enough leak, no need to sell them anything here."

on 6/5/2009 Just a comment for how to clean up oil leaks....I found a new product that bioremediates oil and fuel if there is a spill. The product is called Oil Gone Easy Home and Driveway S-200. You can read about the product on Wiki. Oil Gone Easy has actually been used to clean up major oil spills such as the Valdez in Alaska. Finally - a green way to clean up your spills! Hope this helps.
