Leaking oil but where?

[Golden4g63child]

I have a oil leak underneath my car but I can't pinpoint if it's coming from the oil pan or the tranny. I have attached some pics of where the oil/tranny fluid is leaking out from. I seems to be coming out of where the oil pan bolts up to the motor on the outer left side (near the tranny). The leak is most noticable right when I start up the car and let it idle and then turn it off after a few minutes. Then if I wipe the oil from the ground and let my car sit there for awhile, it doesn't leak (or leaks very slowly) Keep in mind that I replace my clutch and flywheel about two months ago but I just notice the leaks today. Any ideas?

you would have the better judgement than we would since we can only see pictures and cant really see the action of the oil dripping down from either the oil pan or the tranny. feel around the oil pan and tranny drain plugs. maybe there are tiny size pin holes in ur oil pan causing a minor leak?

Well, it seems like the oil is dripping out where the oil pan bolts, bolt up to the motor. But I can't tell if it's motor oil or tranny fluid.....

The transmission doesn't have a place to leak there. Steel doesn't develop "pinholes".

You need to re-seal your oil pan. Or, put up with a fiddley little drip.

Thanks Defiant, I will re-seal her this weekend, you been a great help to me the past couple of weeks, thanks! Anyways, the drip is quite severe, just check underneath my car this morning and the oil on the ground is roughly the size of half of a credit card!! I will re seal and update!
