That is the first sign your muffler bearing need replacing!


But no, seriously, If there is no smoke comming out of the tailpipe, then it is jut leaking from soemwhere close. It could be the oil pan leaking on that side (most likely) or possibly the rear main seal or trans front seal and just leaking fromt ht side.
