Not sure where it is coming from on mine, but it is not engine oil
coming from the driver side distributor as some have suggested.  I
already replaced the rubber breather hoses that had disintegrated at the
back of the engine.  This is ATF that drips quite near the O2 sensor and
burns on the exhaust system at the cross over point below the trans.  I
hope the tech not is correct as that sounds a lot easier than the main
seal suggestion.  I'll let you know as soon as the snow melts and I can
get under the cars again.
