My caravan leaks on when it's sitting idling. I was charging the AC ann noticed about 1/2 pint on the ground. It seems to be coming from somewhere near the starter. I guess where the transmission meets the engine. It's not trans fluid. When driving I can't tell if it leaks as bad. When turned off it leaks a few drops. I guess the pressure causes it to leak.
Easy fix? or is it the rear main seal? If so, it will just have to leak. I don't think that's an easy fix.

The thing to do is clean it up, then find out for sure where the on is leaking from.
A half pint is a lot to leak from a seal, more likely is your rear valve cover gasket or something is leaking.

Yup, one half pint of *what* leaked? Water from the A/C? Coolant? Engine oil? transmission fluid (how do you know it is not ATF)? A/C PAG lubricant? The can of beer that was knocked over?
Or one of your buddies decided to screw with ya and poured a little oil under the it.
A old trick, but very effective.
Or worse, a can of (old) brake fluid... THey know that can't use it (been opened) so "how about a little fun?"
Don't ya just hate it when your vehicle is leaking "on"? That's worse than when it leaks 710.

took me a moment, then I remembered the blond joke.......funny stuff
..
You guys are a bundle of joy and laughter!
It's oil that is leaking. My bad for not indicating that. Once the engine is about 1 quart low on OIL the leak seems to slow down.
Any REAL help. All for a good joke. I just hate being the butt of it.
No beer No ATF NO Brake Fluid NO S**en No blood etc
Right above the starter on my ranger is the oil filter, possible leaking oil filter gasket, could also be bad oil sensor/sender or valve cover gasket leaking.
OIL - 710, it's all the same thing, You just use the latter when the OIL fill cap is upside down.
