Default Dripping dark red fluid

Not sure what this is. It is 4-6 drops and does not leak all the time.

I had an issue with PS fluid dripping from the rack, but I think that is resolved since this is from another origin.

Not antifreeze.

I guess the only other option is brake fluid?

Yup, check around the tranny pan or the rack issue may not be as resolved as you think...

This leak is coming from thepassenger side and is dripping from the steel beam that runs between the wheels.

I can't see any leaks above that area.

The rack drip was coming from the rack itself on the drivers side.

I'll give it another look tonight.

Thanks!
