leaking

[roque11]

Another problem I am experiencing is leaking towards the driver side. It appears to be a darker, brownish color. It's hard to tell. It seems to trigger after the car us running for awhile. When I left it parked overnight there were not any new leaks. What could this be?

It sounds like you may be referring to transmission fluid or engine oil. How big is the spot after sitting overnight? You might try putting down a white paper towel or white piece of paper under the car where it leaks to get a better coloration for the fluid.

Have you checked fluid levels to see if any of the levels are over- or under- filled?

The best I can describe it is a good circle of the leaked oil. Today I had a few levels checked and was told engine oil, trans and I think coolant looked fine. They put a little power steering fluid in. A few days ago I had it where trans was said to be fine and power steering, but they put a little engine oil in.

Dab your finger in it, and if your finger is yellowish/brown it is engine oil. If it has a reddish hue to it, it is transmission/ p steering fluid. The leak could be from any where. Park it, and see where it drips on the ground and then look up underneath. You might see a drip forming. It could also be leaking somewhere above the drip also, and leaking down to form a drip.

Does the spot seem to be getting any smaller? You didn't happen to have had the oil changed just prior to this, did you? Maybe some oil is trapped in a frame rail somewhere, or maybe the shop replaced the drain plug with the wrong sized plug.
