Re: Two questions about oil leaks
Rear end leaks are kind of common. Usually from either worn main bearing, overfilling, plugged vent, or as you guessed a misinstalled drain (or missing drain). Start with the easy stuff. Check that your filler cap breathes. Read one of the many threads on here about the different dip stick lengths and then be sure your oil is at the right level. Run with your oil low, but between the marks, for a while to see if it helps. The A can be pretty sensitive.
After that, you'll need to pull the pan to check the tube and the rear main bearing. Both are fixable in place.
The front usually isn't a problem. I'm a little stumped there.
