Driveshaft has oil on it, and there is a leak underneath? Well today I decided to go out and check my car for no apparent reason. I found two problems, the 1st being that my car (97 LT1) leaks at the bottom of my crank case where my crank postion sensor is located at, and I have fuild/oil on the end part of my driveshaft (towards the back of the car ). Here are the pics, what can I do to fix these two problems, also I have put a new o-ring around the crank postion sensor.

LT1 oil lines are known to leak - step #1, clean the area well so you can see where it's leaking from. For the rear, the pinion seal is leaking and needs to be replaced.
