Hello,
I bought a 2005 SRT-4 back about a month ago with 33,000 miles on it. I just today noticed that the car seems to drip a small amount of oil, I have not jacked it up yet but when looking under I can see its coming towards the driver's side close to the firewall almost under the turbo but from the top looking down I can't see the main source. I plan to jack it up when the weather is nicer but is there anything in particular to look for as far as known issues? I didn't think with this low of mile's i'd run into problems already. Thanks.

Welp just took a quick look underneath and I don't think its motor oil its dripping, its has a red tint to it which i would believe to be transmission fluid especially since it's coming from the driver's side back portion of the engine bay. I dabbed the drip with a white piece of paper and dabbed my motor oil from the dip stick onto a piece of paper and the one dripping is somewhat red. Now what should I look for, and I don't suppose dodge has any sort of factory warranty on this vehicle that's still valid? Thanks.

05's come with a 36/36 warranty, so you might be just under the time limit depending on build date. check with your dodge dealer.

check the drain and fill plugs on the tranny and make sure they're tight before sending it in.

 

Any way to check when it was bought, haven't looked yet but I know my old neon said it on the driver's side door.

 

It was the power steering switch that was leaking underneath. $35 part the dodge dealership had in stock which tells ya something. Easy fix though.
