where should oil drip from?
i noticed some oil spots after taking my 300D out today they were fresh.. bout the size of 2 quarters next to each other.. soi went under and looked.. oil pan dry.. but where the motor and bell house connect it was oil and had oil on it.. now this isnt the original transmission. is this something to worry about? i havent gotten ahold of the owner to see if they used synthetic oil.. i plan on using a dino oil . anyone know a good brand

Rear seal? If so then you leave it until it gets bad.
