Probably a leaking front engine seal. A good opportunity to replace the clutch if you go in to fix seals etc. since labor is the bigger part of the cost OR do it yourself & decide if the clutch needs replacing. I have a very small leak there and my mechanic says live with it rather than spend $350 for labor.
