Are you sure the fluid isn't leaking from the front of the car and dripping down there. Because that sounds like coolant. Either that or it is gas dripping from your exhaust?

The cold air kit wont fit because of the tranny cooler. There simply isn't enough room because the cold air kits are space hogs.

As far as the drips, remember this, leaks always go down and back (from wind and gravity). Find the highest most forward spot that's wet and there is your leak. Good luck

i thought it was coolant too but the highest point on the ground is under where my cutout is... so then i thought it couldnt be coolant so i was confused.

Why would your engine get hotter if it was gone? The ram air box you posted above is to bring in more air for more power up top. It is an aftermarket mod. It in no way will make your car run any hotter. And like 01red said above, he took it out because it wouldn't fit with your tranny cooler. I kept mine, but it isn't perfectly straight in there anymore, but it works and maybe he said it would work better without it anyway was because he thought maybe more air could get through with not having the box in there. I have also wondered if taking the ram air "box" out would be better or worse...
