oil leak problem HELP!
 

Hey guys im new here and i have a problem with my fr-s there is a oil leak i need help distinguishing what the problem is!

Well, here goes my simple solution (that doesn't usually work) .... torque those two bolds down and see if it stops leaking.

Did you hit something? I forget what the tranny looks like with no marks on it.

Take it to the dealer. That's what the warranty is for.

If that's the gearbox to the bellhousing, did you go over something sideways?????

Maybe it's cracked?

Looks like the transmission casing to rear casing joint at the tail end of the tranny.

How much oil is leaking? Did you wipe it clean?

Frankly I don't see a leak. Where is the transmission breather on this gearbox? Sometimes a new transmission might blow a little oil out of the breather. This is more likely if the transmission got very hot after say a track day in summer?

Also, could it be engine oil blown back in the underbody slipstream?

The problem is a leak.

The solution is take it to the dealer and have them fix it.

It looks like you hit something..

+1 on taking it to the dealer. They should handle it if there is warranty, even if the bolts are slightly loose. They need to investigate it and you may even get a new seal and tranny fluid from all this.

We can diagnose it for you, but there is a $49.95 fee. This will go towards any labor work you have us perform.

Or stop speculating and have a dealer take a look. Or, have a certified mechanic take a look if you hit something.

the thing is i got the car from auction so it doesn't have warranty im still trying to fix the car up just need to pull it and paint it

Warranty is for 3 years 36k miles and 5 years 60k for powertrain. That's factory warranty, what does the auction have to do with anything?

Rebuilt title maybe

Then pull the transmission, pop off the tail section, reseal it with the proper Toyota/Subaru gasket maker, and put the transmission back in.
