Fluid Leak

My wife wanted a smaller suv, she got a 2005 Escape. I changed the oil a few days ago. Looks like the oil filter and drain plug was not tighten properly. Like I said I changed the oil so I made sure both were tight. Just looked under the car and I think I have trans fluid leaking near a black rubber piece in a seam. Not sure it could be oil. Anybody else see leaks under thier Escape?? Its a V6 AWD..Thanks Tony

Just got back in town and looked under the Ford, its trans fluid.

My Tribute V6-AWD had a leak that was the seal for the rear driveshaft.
Jack it up and clean every thing to isolate the location.
Don't know if they use a fluid motor mount, but that can leak (like the one in my wife's Toyota).

Dealer has to replace the front seal. They called Friday and said the torque converter has to be replaced also. Only have 30,000 miles, so we got a loaner, a Mazda 6 nice car. Are the Escape's know to have this problem?
