So... I'm no mechanic but I'm thinking it's not supposed to look like this! I just recently brought my car back to life after many years of sitting. After driving a bit then parking I noticed a drip and this is what I found. Just what do you think is going on here??? Thanks in advance!

That thick black stuff is not gear oil. Its tar or undercoating someone sprayed. It could be asphalt resurfacer. I see it on many transmissions, but that is not associated with a specific leak pattern.
Leaking stuff is what you should be interested in. Follow leak. Check levels. |
