well i was at the track today and i got a really bad leak from the lower side of the engine on passengers side. i thought it was coming from the power steering lines under the engine because of the smell, taste and color of it but its not low, but my engine oil was a quart low so im almost positive its engine oil. dried it all off and everything but tstill cant see where the leak is at. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
gets really bad after a hard launch (i went out once more to see if it would leak). i drove back to the house (bout 70 miles) and it was still leaking. i guess the 1.69 sixty footer broke somethin LOL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
TIA

i could really use some help on this. i just cleaned the car. it leaked all over the place all the way to the back on the tailpipes
still cant tell where its coming from. its not leaking since it sat overnight if that helps any. still not sure which fluid it is either. its dripping off the color of tranny fluid/power steering fluid but that could be of the engine degreaser im using. besides my engine oil was what was low.
again its coming from a low spot on the passenger side, mostly on the passenger side but there was a good amount on the driver side too. i checked the fittings to the power steering area below the engine and they were all fine. i checked all hoses and none seemed to have evidnece of leaking.
ALSO i installled the timing chain gasket backwards which i will fix, the reason why i dont think this is the leak is because wouldnt it leak even when not running? also would it make a MAJOR amount come out under hard acceleration? maybe this is the prob, someone chime in please16
