that was a passanger side transmission seal. on left turns the oil would follow the axle out then when it hit the cv joint it would sling it out onto the rear bank exhaust. once the exhaust cooled down the fire went out. This time it was a pressureized oil line spraying on the exhaust. (I think) ---

it farted a fireball out of the engine bay, but nothing was damaged in any way by that, it was just some tranny fluid that turned into a fireball that fireball and this fire are 2 totaly unrelated deals, as this is a failure of an oil line ---
