    could be a vairety of things, the oil pan likes to leak, the Rear Cover of the engine likes to leak. Both can cause wetness, but no puddles.

    the 3800 is not a 'dry' engine by anymeans.

    I've had dry engines up to the current one.

    Wipe it all down and drive a day. Crawl back under to get a better idea of where it's coming from. Holler when you know.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
