I have oil dripping from the tin plate at the front of the gearbox housing, and it seems a trail coming from the hole the clutch fork protudes from down to the flat surface front of gearbox. I am pretty sure this will be the rear main seal, but thought I would throw this out there to see what others think. The oil actually drips from the flat surface just rear of that plate. I wondered if there is anywhere else this may come from, although I doubt it.

Re: Oil leak
take a good slow walk around the car and then look inside as well, if the word Fiat appears anywhere then that's the issue
sorry, I couldn't resist

Re: Oil leak
Interestingly....I have seen far, far more oil leaks associated with British sports cars and sedans than any other brand. Fiat has just a nice mix of everything.
