View attachment 9Hi All

I have noticed the attached fluid leak from my vehicle. Not sure what fluid this could be, any guesses?

The leak seems to be towards the back of the engine or just past the engine relative to how the car was parked.

Car had the Vcg, and a few other gaskets changed recently. I have also had coil pack on cylinder 1 changed.
Most Recently I have also been experiencing intermittent misfires on cylinder 2 and 3 (could it also be failing coil packs?) fuel consumption is also extremely high like in the 20l/100km range (short drives mostly)

Engine is a N52B30 with auto box.

Thank youIMG_20210117_080623.jpg

Oil leaking at the back could be very well your Front Main Seal or Oil filter Housing Gaskets or Sump Gaskets even. I had the VCG done and while in there, decided to change all of the above. the OFHG and front main seal cause the leak at the back.

Also, check if your v-belt has any spray on it in the front...also tell tale signs of front main seal.

At the risk of sounding like a troll, I look at your picture and it looks like a mole on a white lady's neck, who has weird freckles and olive moles.
What am I looking at? Is that your driveway?
