What are the chances that a power steering leak on a 98 Ody EX could get fluid on the belts causing it to spray up onto the underside of the hood directly above the belts and mimic an oil leak with 6-7 drops spread out over a 2 foot straight line area?

 

sounds logical to me.

 

pretty good chances!

 

Sounds like a sucky ass thing to troubleshoot. Bet you had fun
