Strange Oil Leak...Please Help!! Pic included!!!
So I'm about to clean my exhaust, and I find this!!!! Could this be why my rear axle is clicking? What should I do next?
It's 2004.0 Touring model with 50K miles on it....
If you're wondering this is right behind my muffler under my car...

as for your axle click you need to lube (molykote is what we use at work, per nissan) behind the rear wheel bearing where it contacts the axle face, and then torque it to the updated specs.
any dealer will recognize and be able to repair the issue

**Update**
So the dealer says they need to replace the whole Rear Sub Member for a bit over $800, but they said they'll grease the axles while they're at it to stop the clicking.... how great of them...
Any other options guys? Does this sound fair?

They said bushing isn't serviceable, and the need to replace the whole thing...
The dealer didn't say anything was bent, but the bushing was worn it seem, causing the leak..
