Leak at front of vehicle
Leak at front of vehicle Hey guys I have a couple of coolant lines running from my radiator(lower coolant lines) that seem to be leaking some fluid. I haven't been able to find the source yet, but at first i thought it was transmission fluid. Now I am starting to think it could be PS fluid. Anyone have any experience with these symptoms?
They are located at the front of the block, passenger side. I will try to get some pictures up later. Thanks for any input...

You would correctly have to figure out what fluid it could be and I take it would be a4.
My guess is power steering.
Dont know if im that redneck or not but I always taste the fluid if you cant tell what it is by color or feel. Each has their own significant taste....
Coolant-sweet, brake fluid=bitter, transmission/power steering=tangyish

btw... vehicle is a 2002 z28 camaro. I looked at it further and its either the line that runs directly under the crank pulley towards the transmission(3/4 inch thick), or the hard lines(2 factory steel lines) running to the rack and pinion i believe. I am trying to get ahold of my buddy, so I can get it on a lift to get a better point of view. thanks for all the input....

if these "coolant lines" are steel and go into the radiator on the passenger side, it is tranny fluid, and you would need tranny cooler lines. The power steering lines are on the drivers side. the fluid of probably black if you havnt serviced your tranny.
