Um, Assuming you haven't done modifications to or removed/damaged the trans and seals, this should probably be covered under your powertrain warranty.
Your basic should be 3/36 and pwr train 5/60.

wow, my 09 just started leaking saturday too. Gonna take it to servco tomorrow.
I can't tell what is leaking though, it's a clear liquid. I have a towel underneath for tonight but i don't want to really sniff it.
From looking under the hood it's to the left of the downpipe (assuming passenger wheel is to your left). :-(

Yeah, it's gotta be the condensed water from the a/c. I usually just turn off the a/c as I'm turning off the car so it's probably all the built up water.

smell, it, you can normally tell the difference. motor oils smells different than trans fluid. or maybe its just me testing and smelling fluids too much. god i hate my work.
no real odor.
some posts on nasioc say that A/C is supposed to drop near passenger side which is where mines is occuring. I had it on for a while and just turned off the car.
I guess that's why when you have A/C then turn it off it switches to open vents.

Thats definetly A/C. Touch it and you'll see its water and odorless.
