post the video on youtube and provide a link here
post regular pictures of where it is leaking with some shots clear enough where we can see the underside of the car

Start by telling us what year make and model vehicle. I'm looking at that second pic and that exhaust doesnt look like any Gen1 or 2 SHO I've ever been under.

Luckily, I’m still under warranty.
I didn’t have no issues before I took it to valvoline

I may very well be jumping the gun, but I cant see that being engine oil, transmission, or coolant. That's usually what ptu oil looks like it has a lot of aluminum in it from my expirience. I very well could be wrong.

it’s odorless, I’m going get a diagnostic tomorrow to see what the issue is. Hopefully it isn’t nothing crazy. I still have to get the sway bars replaced.

Yeah, after the posted video it def looks like Valvoline messed up your PTU fluid exchange.
I actually took my vehicle back to valvoline they said they can’t see anything they done wrong. Then recommend their on mechanic. Yeah, I won’t be going to that guy.
