Question Random oil leak...

I just recently rebuilt my engine, drove it about 2,000 miles now... I noticed a small leak on the ground, the car was off at the time and nothing was leaking. I figured that I would turn the car back on and have a look, (only leaks when the car is on) I believe that the oil is coming from the very lower left bolt of the transmission. what does this mean???

Thanks

most likely at the banjo bolt for the oil cooler line on the rear iron. rear main seal maybe? clean everything off and check

the only other oil source around there would be from the sender for the gauge in your cluster. it is also on the rear iron above the oil cooler banjo bolt

The oil filter pedestal is in the same area. You could also get a leak from around the o-rings or at the filter itself. Time to get dirty finding the leak!
