My wife brought it in and i have not gone up to talk to the tech in person only over a loud phone. Maybe some of you guys have seen this.

2017 summit only around 700 miles. Small dime size oil stain on garage floor and clear fluid.
The tech says its a gel coat and the will replace it.
I expected maybe a bad seal but is " gel coat"? Either way they are being helpful and getting her a rental car. However it sucks to show off our new 60k car to the neighbors and now having a rental in the driveway due to it being worked on already.

Are you sure it is not just water condensation from ac or exhaust? Never heard about this "gel" thing ...

talked to the tech. he said its hydraulic fluid from a bad transmission mount.
first ive never heard of a mount leaking.
2 ive never heard of hydraulic fluid being brown. they are backed up for 7 days so im just waiting now.

Don't feel bad. My 2016 had 6,000 on it and was in the shop for a week for a TSB to replace the oil pan and a ton of bolts. Noticed an oil stain on the ground at home and in the garage at work.
