Small oil leak? What is it? was created by john757
Hi all,

My uncle has an 2008 Jimny, he's noticed a small amount of clear oil on his garage floor. I got under the car for him and took the below picture. It looks like the oil is running down and dripping off what looks to me are 2 rods that connect to the sump? Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at and what the causes could be?

Hi yeah, I thought it could be the gearbox. It just has an oil smell...nothing really anything special like cat piss. Any idea what the rod type things are that connect to it as there seems to be oil all the way up them.
