After driving I am leaving behind a puddle of what looks to be black oil or gear oil. After driving eight miles and seeing this big leak at the fuel pump. I checked my oil still full. I checked level of gear oil T-18 4 speed manual still full. I have found a power steering hose leak and an oil pan gasket leak where one bolt is stripped. The bell housing is dry on passenger side wet on bottom and caked on driver side where rubber boot for the clutch where it enters on the side of housing. Back of engine and valve covers are dry also. Confused.

Best to start with a good de-grease and steam clean and get all the old dirt and grease off, then go for a drive and re check for fresh leaks. it will be far easier to locate on a clean engine, you may not have to drive very far to start to see a bad leak start to run.
