    Mysterious fluid leak

    I've recently noticed some red fluid dripping out of two holes under the drivers side of the vehicle, next to the ACE block thing.

    It seems to be coolant in the chassis rail but I am completely stumped as to where it could be possibly coming from.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    Is your coolant level changing?

    Looks like auto fluid to me aswell.

    Could very well be ACE/ Power steering fluid. Check the res levels. Not 100% sure how its getting in the chassis rail, but the front ACE ram and its flex hoses would be a good place to start.

    There is a small chance it is auto trans fluid leaking out the fitting at the auto trans cooler behind the radiator. It could easily leak down the chassis and come out in that spot.

    Very difficult place to inspect though.

    I'd almost say it's the auto trans fluid. The coolant level isn't dropping at all nor are the PAS/ACE fluids. Can't see any other leaks about (other than the typical oil leaks)

    I'll have to check it tomorrow sometime and let you guys know.
