Drops of red fluid under front of X??
 
Noticed two large drops of red clearish fluid directly under the motor this morning on the garage floor - was right in the center of the front end.

Ideas??

Dawg -

Leave a ben & jerry's qrt of ice cream in the X tonight.....

See if it is still there in the morn!

Then Bring the X to your INDY and check on the Power Steering hoses as the connectors are known to go..possibly look at the pump to....but i'm thinking hoses....maybe....ATF.... how has the steering been any noise on turns..

Definitely blood. Go to the local hospital ASAP.

LOL, damn it, you guys always make me go loling in the office....hahahaha

by the way, i am having a similar issue, and i noticed a low level of ATF PS (topped it up after grinding noise on steering in cold wheather)... going to the dealer next wednesday... We both have the same vehicule, what a coincidence!!

A side question, Dawg, i see you have more than 150Kmiles on the clock... i have now 93 and I plan to keep it till i reach 150... Any major issues besides the little ones we all know about? I mean any engine serious work, any trans problems? by the way, did you change the trans oil, or still on the original one? cause i don't plan to touch the trans...

Oh yeah, I spent probably close to $15K in the past few years, the majority of that going to the tranny and the cats. My only justification for doing that is that I don;t have a car payment.

Well, and the fact that I love my X!!!
