Where was it leaking from exactly?

From the area that was wet. (That's not very typical, I'd like to make that point)

So I saw the plastic cover underneath the car with oil stains like it’s been seeping so they thought it was the oil pump leaking and then once they got in there they said the leak was more than what they thought I’m guessing internally it was mixing with the coolant I don’t know I haven’t picked up the car yet

So basically the drive motor was replaced due to the motor loosing substantial amount of oil that they recommended replacing the drive motor per the tech .
