Just bought a used truck. Had it parked on an incline last night and noticed a leak from the back middle this morning (parked going downhill).

Hello,

What type of fluid is leaking?
Oil, coolant, power steering fluid, transmission fluid?

Any time there is a leak the best course of action would be to inspect the area and see if you can detect the leak. Oil can leak from any number of seals or gaskets. So is the transmission fluid.
If the leak is hard to detect, it can be helpful to use oil dye, which can help finding the leak little easier.

Here is a helpful guide on engine oil leak:

Let me know what you are able to locate or if you have any questions.
Thank you.
