pretty sure it's weeping... have never seen a puttle or anythingg under car
and I think it's been leaking for a long time.. not fully sure about that of course...
would bad rear diff bushings (whatever they are), cause a leak like this AND also the jerky drivetrain?

are bad mounts easy to diagnose? I assume both tranny and engine mounts...
the reason I ask is cuz the shop I had it at said mounts and joints look OK - from visual inspection, tho

Keeper of the Cash
Engine mounts bleed purple blood, transmission mounts are not fluid filled and need to be removed
to be inspected. However, my engine mounts after 160k miles were not leaking, but were very worn from years of use so I replaced them anyway. I'm going to be replacing my diff mount with that awesome Apikol mount a lot of guys now use.
The transmission mounts were also very worn as this shocking picture shows:
