HELP! black gunk near transfer case, inner tierod, oil pan
 
So i was doing an oil change today, and saw this black greasy gunk on the back of my oil pan, top of iner tie rod, AND there was a long bolt hanging out stuck in the gunk on the subframe. Also my car clunks when i turn the wheel to the right. this just started happening a week ago. maybe a seal on the springy/compressing looking part (sorry please look at pic) inner tie rod is broken and is leaking? any idea where this bolt belongs and where the gunk is coming from? Any input would be greatly appreciated EvoM :crap:

Here's a pic of the bolt

Here's a pic of the leaking part under the alternator

after more research im seeing some resemblance in the power steering pump going out or leaking?

A bolt that size, if it came from your car, has got to be important. It looks like something that would bolt a wing to an aircraft.

Looks like your axle is busted.. Might have been messed up.. That bolt looks like the rear motor mount bolt if you did a clutch recently that's where these problems would be from.. Axle was improperly taken out or installed and rear motor mount bolt wasn't tightened.

+1 The clunk is the engine moving around, in result you probably split one of the boots on the axle which slung the black grease.
