rear suspension leak
think one of the fluid filled bushings from my rear suspension popped. its around 2 inches more posterior than the axle on the driverside and about 2 inches above it. seems to be at the attachment point for the rear subframe. can someone confirm what i suspect or what else can be leaking a odorless light and colorless fluid/lube from the rear subframe area?
also is the car driveable in this condition or will it be dangerous to drive?

Ahhh Yes, the differential bushing. My passenger side went a year ago. I think they were 50 or 60 bucks from Ray. Do both!!!!! Kinda of tuff to get out without a lift but you can do it with some swearing. I think it cost 25.00 to get them pressed out and the new ones pressed in. I did have trouble finding a machine shop that would do it. they want big $$$ jobs. Eventually I found a cool dude who ran a good shop. That damn charcoal canister had me so pissed. It was always in the way. Good luck.
As far a safety goes????? I drove mine for a week or so till i got parts. The fluid is a dampner, The structural part isn't compromised though. When you fix it it may quite down some clunking if you have some noise back there.
