Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the reply and the link. I am admittedly an 80-series novice and wanted to make sure I was on the right track. I wanted to know about any other places to look that would help isolate the issue to one or the other or something completely different. Since I posted the pic no other fluid...

I have a recently acquired 97 with ~89k miles that has developed a leak I noticed this morning after a drive. I wiped it off with a white paper towel and it appears to be oil due to the color but I am not positive. After doing some searches, I am seeing references to rear main seal or upper...

Last I heard was they would be 2026 models.

Having recently transitioned to the DBA rotors and pads, they are still noisy but not as bad as I remember from my 100-series. Huge stopping power improvement over my OEM pads and rotors.
