Default Oil drops under car

I have an automatic and found a small amount of oil under the front of my car. There were 2 drops on the black pan, not the oil pan, I guess the automatic. I wiped it off and will be watching it. Anyone have this problem? Thanks[:I]

When I was under the car on my Brother's lift doing the oil change at 4500 miles, I noticed that one of the bolts on the differential cover had just a little moistness on it, as if it were not tightened properly.It wasn't dripping, but ws moist. I plan on having it looked at when I get some time to run it by the dealer.It was the very bottom center bolt on the diff cover (not the tranny pan).

I had posted about an auto trans leak on mine. The dealer replaced a solenoid pack. They said the seal was leaking. On the work order it also says they re-sealed the trans pan. I haven't been under there yet to check up on things, but I always change my own oil so I'll have another look soon. That's how I discovered it in the first place.

I also have noticed this on my dcII. I change the oil myself also and just happened to notice some moisture on the pan, but it seems to be coming from a connection where 2 metal tubes come down toward the pan(don't know what these are). I'm making appointment tommorrow to have it checked out.

On another note......noticed that a portion of my rear bumper paint has started to flake off where it meets the rear quarter panel. also having this checked out.
