I've noticed over the past 2 weeks that a mysterious puddle of oil has been forming on my driveway. Upon closer inspection, the oil is red in color so it can't be from the crankcase I'm assuming. The transmission fluid appears to be unaffected (from a fluid level perspective). It seems to be coming from the front, slightly to the left of center (closer to the driver side). I've noticed some oil film under the bumper and despite the front section being very tighly packed, looks like there's a device behind the bumper that appears to have oil on it. This device is to the slight left of the air "vents" in the bumper (could also be where you put fog lights I'm assuming). I'm guessing the only other device that uses red oil is the power steering pump however the steering also appears to be unafected. Any ideas on the source and how to trouble shoot it to narrow it down? Thanks much!
