    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    That would be the rear main seal leaking down the back of the motor.

    Standard or auto? Looks like an auto.

    Lift and tires would not cause that leak.

    Have you smelled the fluid? Don't laugh, haha. Oil and tranny fluid smell totally different. That will help you determine where the leak is orginating.
