Hey Guys,

I noticed an oil leak on my driveway, and it seems to be getting worse. It is red fluid so I assume tranny or power steering. I have attached some pics. Does anybody have any idea where this could be coming from? Thanks in advance.

 

leak behind power steering pump.. maybe a hose...

 

Power steering fluid no doubt. Follow the hoses to find the source, if no luck there it might be a seal on the pump or tank.

 

That first pic looks like the 5 year coolant. The way it's trailing along the oil pan seam makes me think your water pump is leaking.

 

Dip your finger in the fluid and then taste your finger.....if it's coolant, it will taste unbearably sweet. Just try a tiny bit as it's nasty tasting, but tells you 100% it's coolant .
Al.

 

Thanks for the input guys. I just dropped it off at the shop last night. It's -5 degrees here, and I don't have a decent garage to work in right now.

 

Hory Cwap !!

 

Coolant is my vote also. Time to change the water pump I'm willing to bet

 

It was the coolant. They said the thermostat needed to be replaced. Thanks guys!

 

You have red coolant?
