This doesn't look good?

I was cleaning up my Buddy and saw this. Am I leaking and where should I look? I am a bit worried.

I can't tell what I am looking at. Do you have a zoomed out version of this? I can see that there is a wet or oil area, but I don't have a sense of where it is, or how large it actually is.

Also what is leaking? Gas, oil, washer fluid, a bottle of gatorade, fido's bladder?

Looks like it is the rear fender looking at it from the back right side just over the exhaust pipe

uhm. I think I figured it out. I moved it to where I could see it better and cleaned it. It's oil. I remembered I spilled a bit when I added some. I did not think when I spilled it that it could go through but I now see where it could have and likely did. So I cleaned it off... If it stays clean then it was from me letting some get away. If more appears then I will take it to Maplewood Scooters and have them look at it. Sorry I panicked a bit.

To clean up the area on the floor grind some cat litter into the spot will absorb a lot of the stain. Then you will be able to see if any new spot appears.

Panic is normal. I had a truck that was a total lemon, and every time something needed repaired it was ridiculously expensive and I didn't have the truck for a solid 2 weeks. Ever since that every possible engine/mechanical issue on any vehicle immediately puts me in panic mode.

Thank you. Yes. I have a 2004 Sebring that was "gifted" to me. Yeah, the gift that keeps on giving, (headaches that is). And it only had 7,000 miles on it. But these days it is a very lonely car. And soon to be even lonlier. I guess I'm a little precious about my Buddy. I can't help it. I adore it. I want him to live a long and happy life.

And the kitty litter is a great suggestion. I will do that. I think it was my own klutziness, but I'm still keeping an eye on it just I'm case. Now if I could just get the hang of those stupid gas nozzles with those aggravating vapor sleeves. QTs aren't too bad. BPs are a nightmare. They need to see a mohel.

Such a 'good Jewish boy' I am....... I had to check your spelling on that!

BTW: I hate those damned things, vapor sleeves, I'm sooooo glad they don't have them in my part of Pennsylvania.

I wonder if a Jewish/Muslim-owned gas station could get a religious exemption?

I found if you hold the nozzle up not pushed down into the gas tank opening you can usually squeeze the handle to get around 1/4 gall at a time before will kick off. Have to keep repaeating but at least can see how the tank is filling and only take about 1 gallon anyway. If you get a Mohel then you will you have to give the gas pump a name as well?
