    I have been getting drops of some kind of oil on the floor of the garage. I went under the car and noticed leakage. Not sure where its coming from? Any particular hoses that are know for this? Could be it some engine gasket? Is this serious?

    If we eliminate coolant from the list, there are four types of fluid that can be leaking from the back.

    1) Engine Oil
    2) Transmission Fluid
    3) Clutch Hydraulic Fluid (same as brake fluid)
    4) Diluted Kluber grease from the flywheel

    We need more details to try to narrow it down for you.

    If you have a No. 4 leak, then you might also find white specks in the engine compartment from spattered escaping Kluber grease. 3-1 odds it's engine oil likely from a leaking seal. My Spider had a very small leak like this and I let it go because the repair required engine removal (front seal). I think it was finally repaired on the last major.
