I noticed a few drops of oil on my garage floor today, and it's coming down right between the catalytic converters. The fluid is light honey colored and I'm assuming it's gear oil.

Any idea what is leaking (trans, front diff, center diff), and is fixing seals and/or gaskets in this area a DIY or should I just bite the bullet and bring it to my mechanic? It's got 95k on it, BTW, and none of the tranny or diff fluids have been changed to my knowledge. Should I just have them all changed and let my mechanic find and fix the leak?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

 

I'd say change the fluids yourself so you can match the fluid to what you have on your garage floor. It's quite easy, just time consuming.

 

is it an automatic? Sounds like the front pump or pan if your lucky.

 

Yes, it's an automatic. I thought you needed some special tools to change the trans fluid and that the front and center diffs were very hard to get to?
