UnfocusedEdge Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I noticed a splatter pattern on the floor of my garage today when I pulled my Edge out to do my wife's oil change on her car. I just did an oil change about 2000 Miles ago on the edge and didn't notice anything odd on the ground then. I check both oil and transmission fluid levels and both are right where they should be. Here are some picture I took to see if anyone here could help. The location is right up front under the engine/transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hard to tell from the color of the fluid, but smell should tell you whether it is engine oil or trans/PTU/PS fluid. They smell distinctly different. If you have an AWD, a venting PTU is a known issue. could be a PTU/axle seal leak also, but seems too substantial for that. Don't think it is coolant, but again, the smell test should be helpful. I would clean up the area with Engine Degreaser or something like that, then take the vehicle for a test drive about 20 miles (enough to warm up the trans fluid from a cold start) and check the leak again. Should make it clearer where the leak is originating. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
