Some sort of oil leak...
I am a newb to these cars but not to wrenching. Any help or advice would be great. Last time i had this car fixed it cost me 1500 bux.
Yes I know if I don't want to spend the money than I need to sell it... Exactly what I am trying to do, but now this!
Anyone ever seen anything like this?

So I cleaned the the underside as best as possible. I was able to see where the leak was coming from. Looks like its a faulty seal. Possibly pinion ring in the front diff and there seems to be a slight oil leak as well from the bottom of the case or loose bolt. The front diff leak looks pretty sever. I am not sure what the seal is supposed to look like but there seems to be a gap there. I did also hear a metal clunking sounds. Sounds to me like the axle is loose even?
