I was driving normally( Not BEATING ) and all of a sudden I heard a breaking noise coming from underneath the car. All of a sudden my speedometer stop working. I pull over and look underneath my car and I see oil leak coming from my transmission attached to the block. My passenger side axle is covered in oil. I check the speedometer sensor on top and it is plugged in all the way. It still drives but obviously an oil leak is a big problem! What do I do? How to fix? I NEED HELP! Below are pictures.

Bump!

Looks like you blew a rear main seal.

Do you have a bad case of dipstick popping out all the time, per chance?

If not, then you may have some possible PCV valve crankcase breathing issues..

If so, you got some serious blowby that is building up serious pressure inside the block and this will blow out mains in a quick.

Pull the tranny and clutch out to get to the flywheel, yank the flywheel off to where the rear main is at.

When doing clutch, need a new pressure plate since it's all soaked and can never be reused.
 
Dipstick is not popping out, I looked at the dipstick and im good on OIL but thanks! BUMP!
 
Does the car still roll smooth? Being that the speedometer quit working i would assume that something went wrong with the differential and possibly broke the case. You will never know until you jack it up and look. It is hard for someone to just tell you what is wrong and how to fix it by seeing oil on the bottom of the transmission and engine.
 
The car roll smooth but pass 3k rpm the car shakes, I just test drove it this morning

Jack the car up and look. First off, it is impossible for someone to tell you where it is leaking by just seeing a picture with oil everywhere. Second bumping isn't allowed on this forum.
