Default IS250 Leak?? w/ YouTube video

So I was randomly just looking underneath my 08 IS250 AWD and notice this leak. Not even sure what I was even looking at so I was just filming all over where the leak was at. Any info or ideas on what might be leaking would help. Thanks in advance!

Hey, It looks like the rear main oil seal for the engine to me, if it's not leaking on the ground to munch, I would wait until it gets worse, just check your oil to see if gets low. I'm not sure about the cost to replace it if that is the problem but you have to remove the trans. to replace the seal.

Damn that sounds horrible. Haha. It's not leaking on the ground or anything, so I'm assuming it's not that bad yet. I'll keep an eye on it.

Thanks toyoman. I really appreciate the info!

Also, I had the carbon build up engine rebuild done earlier this year. I hope it isn't leaking cause they didn't seal it right...
