ok there is no fluid in your car that is an oil and gas mixture. if you have a fuel leak and an oil leak it may comebine on the block or ground. but if leak is coming from back of motor its probably a valve cover gacket. i assume its front wheel drive and motoer is in sideways> check your hoses and your valve covers. hope this helps
