Hey guys, the car looks like there is red grease leaking from the vehicle, I thought it might be a leaking cv boot, but the grease is on the ground in the middle of the vehicle, not near any wheels. I'm kinda stumped. Appreciate it in advance!

It’s most likely your automatic transmission. You say "grease leaking", … grease drips,  oozes slowly, fluid leaks.

Anyway, it’s a Pathfinder - plenty of clearance underneath:… park it, crawl under, … see! Take apicture, if you must. Post it. Eliminates guessing, …
F.S.


Oh, … yes, if yours is 4WD: … transfer case, … red fluid leaks. Transfer case uses ATF as lubricant. It may be just that is the source of a leak.
F.S.


Thanks for the reply, it isn't transmission fluid or transfer case cause it's a 2wd, the grease looks just like red wheel bearing grease, sorry for the guesswork. I'll post up some pics
