Oily residue on the drive but the car is fine

So I've just been out and about in my car, it seems reasonably healthy (don't want to jinx myself) but I noticed some oil on the driveway on my return. Had a peek under the car and nothing seems to be dripping / leaking so not sure what it could be?

Were is the oil in relation to how you park the FF, front, rear, engine, gearbox, steering, axles?
Does the oil smell, like EP90 from the axels, is it red (PAS) or any other description of the oil? Wink

It's not the norm for the TD6 to mark its territory, they are usually surprisingly dry underneath

It was mostly just oily residue, like that technicolor film you get on water when theirs diesel on it. The car is on a steep drive and it's rained, but whatever it is it doesn't seem too thick. I think it's come from the gearbox area?

Chech round the transfer box, mine was slowly weeping from where the two halves meet. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I had this issue on my old Rangie. My air con never worked and then I got it regassed and the water that then ran out from the 2 pipes beside the gearbox (condensation pipes I think) then picked up oil and grease etc from the gearbox area and made it look like the autobox was leaking !
To be on the safe side I had the seal and oil replaced in the auto box (2005 6speed )
