Winter Project Pictures
Hey everyone, doing my periodic winter start-ups to keep the engine lubricated, I noticed there's something leaking out from the front driver's side close to the headlight and wheel area.
Take a look at these pictures and tell me where you think it could be coming from, I don't want to run the engine anymore to check until I have a better idea what the fluid is.
The light in the pictures indicates where the pool on the ground was forming, and there's nothing wet in the engine on the front cover, rear or passenger sides of the car. (This is an '87 N/a)

It doesn't "look" like oil and if it were oil cooler lines then it would probably be more of a spray than a slow drip wouldn't it?
Is there anything else in this area that would be able to drip-leak onto the ground?

As soon as your engine starts spinning, your power steering system becomes pressurized. I have a leak in the same general area, on one of my PS lines. it's a very slow leak, and I dont' think i'm keeping the PS anyway, so I haven't done anything with it, except to top it off every few months.
