I have noticed a rainbow slick coming from under the rear (in the centre of the belly pan between the rear wheels) the last week or so when its raining. After putting some cardboard under the car in the carport it seems to leak a few drops of an oily substance after each drive. From what I have been able to find online there is oil in the rear drive unit but I’m not sure if there could be another source?
The nearest service centre is 3+ hours away so I would like check oil levels before driving it in but haven’t been able to find any info on how to do this. I’m thinking I will pull the belly pan and take a look (I’m pretty handy) but not really sure what I’m looking for. Is there a drain and fill plug? What type of oil? I know last time I looked in there (when changing the tires) I saw an oil filter but didn’t look much beyond it.
Any help or a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
