Have you had your oil changed recently? Do you think that could have resulted from that?

So I assume I need to get this fixed asap? Does it use the same oil as the engine oil, or is it a separate liquid?

Same oil..often changed when dealerships do oil changes...if leaking could be result of previous oil change.

How much oil are you leaking?
