Could be brake fluid or axel oil. Take it in to prevent further damage.
It could be one of 2 things. Depending on the type of oil, you could have blown a wheel cylinder causing brake fluid to leak. This is assuming you have drum brakes on the rear, I am not too familiar with Jag's.





If not, then it would be a Rear Axle Seal. Neither are necessarily uncommon repairs to have to do.





If the oil is thin, almost like paint thinner, it is brake fluid. If it is thick, smells really bad, and is almost gooey, it is gear oil from the axle seal.
