Oil leaks!

[josueh95]

so over the last month ive noticed every morning the tahoe has been leaving small oil stain on my garage..there are five small stains, but they are all spread out today i went under to see what it can be and il looks like on most of the bolts from the transmission to the drivetrain are leaking. im not 100% sure but can anyone help on how i can stop this? i cleaned the drivetrain but its on all the lower bolts

Yep. I have noticed the same thing on my 2000 Yukon as well--although not as severe. I changed my oil and filter a couple of days ago, and was able to visualize the entire area with good light and access (my fire station has a mechanics pit). The pictures you're showing are very similar.

At first I thought maybe it was the oil pan gasket, but it's exactly like you say: almost as if the oil is leaking near where the transmision and drivetrain meet. Although, I've noticed the seeping near above the oil filter area as well.

Anyone care to comment and help us diagnose?
