Default Unknown Leak Behind Oil Pan (pictures provided)
I noticed some oil behind my oil pan the other day after doing an oil change. But can't tell if it's possibly a CV boot leaking or something else. Thanks in advanced for the help!

It sure looks like the cv boot is leaking. Notice how the "spray" is directly in line with the boot. As you drive it is slinging the grease.

From the second picture, the spray pattern does have the look of CV joint grease.
