i guess what i am really asking is for someone to tell me that the rear main seal is not where the oil is coming from.
as you can see, it looks like oil thats dripping, however, it looks cleaner than the oil on the dip stick, ive never seen the color of the trans fluid in the x5, but i know they are usually redish in color. at first i thought it was oil vapor and water vapor being evaporated out of the oil and and leaking out of the OSV, but all the lines look good and are all in tact.
