WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 11, 2022 Report Share Posted February 11, 2022 usually it is a power steering line at fault. if you have AWD, it can leak between the transmission and PTU (front "differential"). most times it will leak PTU fluid (black and smelly) but sometimes it will leak trans fluid also. suggest cleaning the area thoroughly with engine degreaser or brake parts cleaner (CFC free) then following it as it develops to pinpoint the culprit.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 check the oil filter gasket, doublegasketing can cause a leak check the oil pressure switch, to the left of the oil filter. the switch seal (loctite basically) can fail, causing oil to leak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILLARD000 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) Suspect it's AutoTransFluid\ATF\MerconV (red\pink color) leaking around right FrontAxle seal at PowerTransferUnit\PTU. Believe it's a double Seal, for both ATF & PTU GearOil. Check your ATF level, see if it's low. Fix is to: ~ remove right FrontAxle, ~ remove old seal, ~ install new seal, ~ re-install right FrontAxle.. Link to vid on replacing this seal. https://youtu.be/fLFFcVHptxs Edited February 25, 2022 by DILLARD000 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigma-2 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 As the fluid is red, check fluid levels for power steering and transmission. Fluids should be at or near top of "hatching" engraved on dip stick. If low, you found the part that's causing the problem. (Top off with additional fluid to prevent problems).
