OIL LEAK after service
I just took my car to a reputable local indy shop for an oil/filter change and transmission service couple weeks ago. Lately, Ive been noticing an oil leak in my garage and Im trying to find out if its an engine or transmission oil, couldnt really tell. My car never had an oil leak or whatsoever and Im positive that this started leaking right after I got my service done. My question is that what do you guys think the possible cause of this leak? Over torque the bolts or the pan? Thanks in advance

When the oils are new it should be possible to tell if it is engine och transmission oil. Engine oil would be more brown/black and transmission oil would be more red/brown.
Wouldn't it be the best to take it back to the shop and explain to them that you got this leak after your service?

dont wait any longer. take it back to the indy shop instead of playing a guessing game. the longer you wait, the more theyll say "sh*t happens".
