Freakin out even more... oil everywhere!

[stateofidleness]

oh man, that would be awesome if it's just a clamp needing to be replaced and not the whole tube.

I'm about 99.9% sure it's oil and not tranny fluid (eww that sounds gross). It's a Tip so I don't know if they leak like the manual ones do. This is a dark brownish fluid and smells like oil.

I'll keep you guys updated!

I should have the parts in mid-week and hopefully I can knock out the engine mount, water pump, and whatever this is this weekend.

the oil filler tube is not that hard to swap out assuming you can get to the clamp by the rear firewall/dipstick area. I think it is a spring clamp like all the others on the car and odds are the part you need to squeeze is on bottom and very difficult to reach. All I had at the time were pliers so I had a indie change it when they were researching some other things on the car. Get some spring clamp pliers if you can as they will probably make your life a lot easier.
