bro,
where is this part located? Looks like a cable, is it a spark plug connector?
No matter what, dont wait to get it checked with your workshop.

That looks like your auto transmission cable, it shouldn't contain any oil. The oil dripping from it should have originated from somewhere above, most likely your auto gearbox gasket.

it is ur GB oil...most probably. AT cable should be dry
Go c ur mech quick before GB runs out of oil....and will cost u LOTS

Where the GB cable enters the GB, there is a seal called a shaft seal. It's like a rubber washer. Could be that part that is leaking.

it happens once in a while... you should change the seal rubber washer.. very cheap stuff.. and does not took long to change. Change the rubber washer near the gear connector there 1st... and wash it up.. monitor it for few days.. normally thats the part is leaking due to the rubber harden already.

The water level drops faster if you use pipe water only instead of water + coolant? How come?
