    Is this transmission fluid? You can barely see the drop.

    Yes, If an Automatic it is transmission fluid.

    If manual it is gear oil.

    Easy fix.

    Remove the drive shaft, replace the seal and reinstall the drive shaft.

    Time to put a new tail shaft seal.Mine failed at 30,000 miles.If you lube it put atf fluid on it clean the drive shaft where it goes into the tranny.put some aft on it too.Wipe off excess when done.If the factory lube it it would probably still be fine.Dry start if you know what I mean.
