Hey everyone just noticed some drops on the ground comming from the front right passenger side ... not sure what the problem could be ... can someone give me some advice could it be the oil pan or something Else !?! Here are some pics ... thanks

 

There are 2 power steering steel lines which run along the top of the sub-frame, they feed into rubber hoses right where the splash shield is. It may or may not be your problem.
Check the power steering fluid reservoir level.

 

yea looks like power steering fluid.

 

Yup, power steering fluid it is !! just checked the level and it's below half thanks guys I'm glad it's not engine oil gonna take to the garage this week ... anyone know if this is a costly fix ?! Thanks for you're help !!

 

I managed to take more pics of the leak ... on the pics you can notice that there is one hose where it's leaking ..the one with the rusted clamp I cleaned all the oil from that spot drove it around and noticed a new drop that looks like it came out of where the hose is with the clamp ... is this the high pressure hose .. looks like it's leaking from around the hose .. what if I tighten the clamp a little more can this help ?!? Thanks !!

 

I'd suggest just replacing that hose altogether but I'm concerned the rust has eaten away at the metal portion.

Get a new hose, but some worm clamps and hope it fixes it

pictures are bad but i THINK it's 17 on the diagram?

 

Oh man I really hope this is my problem too, I was really dreading a front/rear main. I noticed a leak of about a quarter size puddle after 5 minutes of being parked. I can only imagine how much it really leaks over night.

 

But where is yours leaking from? this one is on the passenger's side engine bay and he narrowed it down to that hose, you must do the same for your car. Clean up what you can, follow to the highest point, take some pics! Sometimes replacing the PCV valve helps alleviate some of the pressure that causes rear main seal leaks.

 

Oh I know, I'm very mechanically inclined but I just bought the car and am still finding new issues lol. I have it narrowed down this weekend when I get a chance to crawl under there.

 

My problem turned out to be the low pressure power steering hose, its the one that has that rusted clamp on the pics I posted , My mecanic switched it with new hose and all has been good since almost 2 weeks and no more leaks !!

 

I was pretty sick over the weekend and didn't get a chance to get under the car yet. I hope that's my problem.

 

Did you figure out your leak?
