What they both said. I have a very small drip--maybe a drop every few weeks. Marc said to check the spot and if it is fairly clear oil it is probably from pan bolts or some other common engine leak. If it is inky black, it is probably a rear main seal because when it drips it picks up clutch dust. Mine seems to be the main seal as it is very black but it is so limited I do not worry about it. Marc said it is extremely rare to have a rear main seal fail. -Bob
