leaking fluid

Hey guys, I've been noticing that my car has been leaking oil or transmission fluid lately. I'm not too sure which it is but it's been leaving drip puddles on the driveway. I jacked up the car and checked underneath and it looks like its dripping from the cross-member underneath. I thought it may be dripping from the valve covers, but I checked both sides and they look pretty dry and clean. I removed the intercooler thinking that the leak may be somehwere under, but I couldn't pinpoint where the leak is from. I would appreciate it if anyone could offer any help.

It might be leaking from your rear seperator plate if its inbetween the tranmission and engine or if its leaking from around the axles then it can be the sundial or the seal where the axle goes in.

My axle seals ripped recently and I was dripping a lot of transmission fluid. I would check those out

Turns out it was the Turbo return hose that was leaking.
