So I peeked under my car today just to do a visual inspection like usual and I discovered something leaking on to the passenger side exhaust pipe! I'm assuming it has something to do with the differential or the ABS system? Well hopefully somebody can tell me from the picture! If not let me know and I'll take a better one.

what does the fluid smell like? you low on brake fluid at all? looks too heavy to be brake fluid, which means its probably your diff fluid, which is BAD. check the front and side axle seals for leaking. if it is leaking i would hold off driving it until they get replaced unless you like replacing diffs.

Is that one of the subframe bolts we're looking at? The only thing it could be is brake or diff fluid like you said, either way it's BAD. Only other possibility is that your strut is blown and leaking?
