The other day when my friend was changing my oil at his shop we noticed that there was alot of fluid splashed around on the bottom of my car around the mufflers and rear end, my friend says this prolly happened cause sometimes i dont drive my car for like 2 weeks at a time then when i finally do i get on it. I only have a couple mods done to my car, so if i take my car in for warranty work will they say one of these mods caused the problem, thanks

Click to expand...

the tailshaft seal on the end of your transmission(where the driveshaft slides into the tranny) is probably leaking....this is very common and can be replaced easily....

other than that...check under the car for leaking seals elsewhere

I dunno about the newer cars but my old '90 stang had little vents on the axle tubes and it leaked rearend fluid to keep the pressure down whenever it got hot for about a month after my rearend was rebuilt. Hope this helps.
