My car is leaking what I thought was just gas from the smell but it is also oil. Its odd because it back near my gas tank and I don't know where the oil would be coming from. It only happens when the car has been running.

May have a rusted brake line back there leaking or seeping, along with rusted out fuel lines/ or tank leaking gas.

That wouldn't surprise me I have already replaced a section of my brake line that was rusted out and repaired a hole in my gas tank with an epoxy, which hasn't leaked since. The car is pretty rusted I just want it to get by until I'm done with college.I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. I will check my brake and fuel lines. Thank you.
