Thanks Gale, It does sounds like the oil i coming from the output. I better have my mechanic to look at it. I doubt is tire balance since I put the baby out at around 85MPh for about 20 minutes and nothing shakes. It went like new. It only does this shaking when in gear and low speed. I gonna have the mechanic change the seal, mounts and center bearing. (The mounts looks old also). You are a great help!!!!!. Thanks
A trans fluid leak near the rear mounts could be the output shaft seal. Not difficult & inexpensive if you DIY but a chore to get to, but if you have the exhaust & driveshaft off anyway, it's a very simple job. Mounts are easy too.

Mine was leaking & I'm sure it was from the old driveshaft imbalance loosening the output yoke flange nut. The driveshaft had been replaced at some time before I bought it but I guess they neglected to inspect the output shaft.

Your sure it's the driveshaft & not the front control arm bushings or tire balance?
