Default Oil leak somewhere in the rear

Hey guys, i found out that my car has some kind of Oil Leak in the rear. I wonder if any of you guys experienced this before. The leak is somewhere near the rear wheel on the driver side. My car is a GS300 i bought it new. I only had it for 9 months and 11k miles on it. Please help. If i take it to da dealer will they charge me to get it inspected?

Not sure what it is...hope it isn't brake fluid.

Take it to Lexus asap! You have a warranty and they will not charge you for sure!! Lexus is known for their customer service.

Good luck.

They definitely should not be charging you to look at some kind of leak if your car is under warrenty...take it in and have it checked out...

I forgot what color the oil was, but after taking it to the dealer, they checked it and found out that my tranny was leaking, my clutch was burned. Their solution was to replace my tranny, clutch and torque coverter to a brand new one.
