Sound like the rear seal may have **** the bed. Get it on jack stands and get under the car and hose everything down with brake cleaner and then see if you can pinpoint the leak.

it could be the seal that goes where the driveshaft slides in. there is also a O-ring that goes in between the tailshaft and the trans when the two mate up againts each other. either way there both easy fixes.

slide the driveshaft out. unbolt the 4 bolts that hold the tailshaft on and un bolt the torque arm. you will also need a jack to support the trans since the cross member will have to come out also
