OK, I got my fluorescent dye kit from AutoZone for about $20. It came with the dye, a UV flashlight, and some goggles. Put that in your
oil and it should show you exactly where your
oil is originating. Until I did that, I was fooled a couple of times by
very thin trails that would then accumulate in a different place that was totally unrelated to the real leak. I had drips that appeared to be coming directly from the transmission and one small leak that looked like it was brake fluid coming out of the box that holds my brake master cylinders... except, the drips glowed in the dark when I added the dye to my oil. That's your next step.
