Mysterious leakage at the rear end

With my 78 Midget, I'm quite accustomed to seeing a pool of black goo 
accumulating towards the front of my garage. As they say, if it isn't 
leaking, something is seriously wrong.

However, I noticed tonight after a drive that there is a black stain on the 
asphalt towards the rear of the car. This is new. I inspected the 
undercarriage of the rear of the car. Gas tank had either grease or road 
grime on it. A sniff on that and on the stain had no smell to it. What's 
going on here?

And when it rains, it pours. I bought my Midget from a dealer. When I bought 
it, the driver's outside mirror was knocked off thanks to some kid horsing 
around the car. I was given the mirror, and my local Brit car specialist put 
it back on, but said it was only a temporary fix, and that I would eventually 
have to replace the entire mirror assembly. Well, tonight, the mirror broke 
off. I'm going to buy a new one, but how involved is the installation? 

All advice appreciated,
Tom
