What type of leak is this? (pic included)?

I think it is the transmission fluid (which i use for the power steering)

What type of leak is this pic included

today i put paper on my driveway, parked the car on it, then a few hours later i took my car back to run errands… When i came back home, before parking, i checked the white papers and took that photo.

is it possible i can identify the source of this? (i.e. Is it power steering pump, loosened hoses, etc)

i have a 14 year old ford sedan by the way

Yes, engine oil. Check your pan gasket first, then valve covers, then oil galley plugs, intake manifold, heads, front seal, etc…

If this leak is falling/dripping off of the transmission, you may have a rear main engine O-Ring leak. That is an expensive repair, since you have to have the transmission removed.

Looks like engine oil - definitely oil by the way it wicks in the paper, slightly brown but not red at all.

  • What is your favorite type of car? I like Hot Wheels the best, you can have more than one car, you can have loads, but the car I like the best is the Ford Platinum, but you go through gas like if it is water on that vehicle.
