Hey guys,

can someone tell me what two bolts these are and what is leaking from them?

They are located in front of the vehicle. about a foot in front of the oil drain plug.

Thanks!

Maybe I'm the only one, but there is no picture showing.
 


















Those are your upper oil pan bolts, or cradle bolts. they have o rings on them and they bolt through the other upper oil pan bolts (quite a convoluted mess until you see it taken apart) to hold the upper pan on. You can pull them and replace the O rings. There are actually 6 more of them under the lower pan but you don't need to worry about those ones.
