My other vehicles are 4x4's that are barely road worthy and get about 10 MPG.
Any advice or helpful pointers?

There's good news and bad news. :roll:
IF it is leaking from around a removable cover, a gasket will probably fix it.
There is a shop manual ON HERE available for download so you can see exactly what there is at the point of the leak.
The bad news is that it might take up to a week to get the gasket. You probably should NOT ride it until it is fixed 'cause if that leaking oil gets on the back tire you could have much BIGGER problems (ouch)........and if the leak gets worse, or you forget to top it up the engine could go BOOM.
RTV is NOT a good fix; not even temporary.
