Red fluids....?
Red fluids....? Hey guys I've noticed lately a small puddle of some sort of red fluid dripping/leaking from my car. What fluids would be red in color?
I'm thinking power steering fluid... but is there any other type that's red?

well it's not dexcool because I no longer use it and switched to the Prestone yellow/green stuff a while back.
It's a very good chance it's power steering fluid as it has sprung a leak on me 3 times... First time I changed the pump. And the last two times changing a line.
Hope it's not tranny but I'll check just in case...

I just replaced my pump with a remanufactured one from Pep Boys. My leak was the shaft seal, didn't want it dripping on my alternator.
I was impressed that it came with new O rings for the high pressure line and the reservoir. It also came with a simple nut/bolt/washer kit to press the pulley back on. I had the puller/installer so I didn't use it, nice touch anyway.

I wouldn't use that stuff man, just doesn't sound good. Since you have had problems before with the power steering it could very well be that again. I would just wipe it all down and see if its dripping down in any new spots and go from there. Good luck!
