what color? Black is oil red is tranny.
First, park it over a sheet of white paper. If the leak is black, it's oil. If it's red, it's transmission; if it's green it's coolant.
If it's oil, it could be the intake.
If it's red, there could be a leak in the transmission line. If it's a bad leak, soon your car will run badly and make horrible noises.
If it's green, it could be a leak in the radiator or hoses.
Of course, it could a bunch of other things for any of the fluid leaks.
