you could be gangsta and buy a dye kit, pour some dye in your powersteering, and check with the ultraviolet light to verify the leak source. i doubt thats practical for you, but its pretty much the best way to verify the leak.

Get a friend, get on some concrete, have the friend move the wheel back and forth and see if it increases the amount of fluid leaking :dunno:.

Well...It is not right under the Power Steering thingy.

It looks like it is coming from the gasket on the oil pan. Maybe something up there is leaking and it is collecting on the gasket and dripping from there. I am just going to have e30doood look at it. I have no idea what I am doing. h:

And inside the enginebay is so filthy that it is hard to spot where exactly it can be coming from.

Ok. I found out exactly what it is. It is coolant that is leaking.

I woke up this morning going "oh shit". We thought it was oil because the stain that was on a tissue that I used to wipe up the stain was oil. BUT, I remembered that that piece of tissue was in fact oil because I used it to check the oil levels that day. BIG :doh: on my part.

So I just put some saran wrap under my car to catch the drips, and it was green.
