Oil Leak under drivers seat
I have developed a small oil leak basically under the car about where the drivers seat- smells like gear oil.....dark brown- not engine oil....Maybe Manual Trans?
Any suggestions- have to schedule a dealer trip

diff fluid does not run through the diff cooling lines. it is trans fluid
that puts you back to Arby's do the '17 SS cars have diff coolers?

They do, but as was said above the trans fluid runs up through the heat exchanger, thought the liquid to air cooler, then back to the differential, and finally back to the trans. No gear oil ever leaves the differential.
