could be driveshaft oil seals, best thing to do is get it all steam cleaned, get it up on the ramps and see where it starts to drip from. Gearbox oil starts off being red, but is usually brown by the time it comes out the box. Wipe it with a cloth, and smell it, if it stinks really really badly, then its most likely gearbox oil. It has a very distinctive smell. | |

Could be coming from anywhere as it will spread and go the lowest poin of the car, More then like a gasket seal somewher, get it up inthe air, clean it all off, run the car for a while and see where it starts coming from | |

If its black and ontop of your gearbox as you look into your bay, it could be rocker cover or something. | |
