Tranny leaking?
 
So I just got back from changing my oil at my indie shop, they the X on a lift and I noticed a very small amount of oil where the tranny meets with the eng., it was a little oily, but it wasn't red like the tranny fluid, my mech said that it could be the pressure seal between the tranny and eng., it was a very small amount. I also ck the ground after I've been parked all night for fluid leakage, that's a habit I have with all my cars and the X shows no leaks at all...........should I worry about this???:confused:

it may be coolant from a leaking valley pan. take the plastic cover off top of the engine and look for moisture b/t the inake and valve covers.

Nope, no coolant leaks, I ckd the under the eng. cover two days ago.

Ok, I did a search and I read about the valley pan, tomorrow I will check more thoroughly, I can't seem to pinpoint with the fluid is, it isn't red like tranny fluid, it's greenish and oily.
Is that a big job, the valley pan gasket??

I think the leak is coming from here but I'm not absolutely sure, anyone, anyone.

I don't know, but with the slightly greenish residue here (see orange circle), fast4d might be right that it might be some type of coolant leak. If that's not it, check to see if your window washer fluid (reservoir and/or tubes) is leaking.

lol, actually I copied that photo from another member here that had a very similar problem, I just wanted to use it as reference, I will take pics of my own truck tomorrow and post them.
