2013 1.6L auto with 64k mi. Finally found out where the little droplets of oil were coming from over the past couple months. Highlighted the area in red.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but is this leak located in between the engine flywheel and the transmission? Is this a rear main seal issue? And, would this be under the powertrain/engine warranty?
Thanks!
Edit: I checked to see if this was just road grime before, I wiped it off and it definitely smelled like oil. Cleaned it up, and this is what it looked like again a couple weeks later. I added about a cup of oil to top it off to compensate for this slow leak.
Edit 2: Took it to the dealership, they cleaned up my car, added an oil dye, ran the car on the lift. Didn't see the leak. Told me to bring it back when I see it leaking again. Waived the diagnostic fee. Brought it back two days later, they spotted the oil leak with the UV light, and diagnosed it as the rear main seal going bad. Gonna take a couple days for the part to arrive, and then my car will be out of commission for two days while they work on it.
