Oil leak


Hi all,
just noticed this patch of oil on drive, it’s dripping off the
cross member as seen in photo.
Any of you kind chaps like to hazard a guess on where it’s coming from.
Much appreciated cheers.

Could be transmission fluid since it drips down at that point.

Get the car up somewhere and take a better look with a light. Thumbs Up

Would appear to be a gearbox leak, either the sump or more commonly, the electrical connector sleeve Thumbs Up
