suspicious oil leak

Hey guys. I am seeing a suspicious oil leak at the right rear of my car just behind the right rear wheel. Please help if you know what's located there

Raise the rear end of the car and look at your differential. If the damp spot appears to be in the area where the rear driver side axle connects to the differential, then it is likely a bad rear axle seal.

I didn't know oil leaks could be suspicious... lol.

But as mentioned, go look for it. park it and see where it drips, then jack the car up and find the place it's dripping from, then take a pic and post it here.

That would be the acd pump in the rear, take the clips off the liner and take a peak..

Agreed. Especially if the "oil" is red.
