strange leak
Alright this a long shot but
For the past couple of weeks I've noticed a small drop of fluid leaking from the hole in the heat shielding under the car about a 1.5 feet from the differential. (see pic) At first I though it could possibly be differential fluid as thats the close to fluid source. I also started noticing it shortly after changing my diff fluid to the correct motul type. (I have a nismo lsd and 3.9fd)
I can't find any evidence of a leak anywhere. I spent a good hour underneath the car and found nothing other than that one drop. The fluid is definitely some sort of oil substance but does not have a strong smell.It's a very small amount.
I got a new set of gaskets for the fill plug from the dealership today and will check the diff fluid level this weekend to rule out a diff leak.
I was just wondering if anyone else had any leads to go on?
Below is a picture of exactly where the drop is appearing circled in red.

It keeps reappearing so its definitely dripping out of that hole.
hey I just did my quaife lsd and 4.08 final drive the other day and I found out differential oil leaking too..
My leak is near the differential and the driver side exhaust though.. im thinking that it might be overfilled but not sure
