Fluid Drip To Driver Side Exhaust
Hey Guys,
I notice after every trip, I opened the hood and I can smell and see some fumes coming up from the driver side exhaust thru the engine compartment, and I see the transmission tube going down to the pan is kind of oily; Is there a leak somewhere with the tranmission tube ? I remember I read about it somewhere about an O ring thing. Thank you.

Thanks for your quick reply. really appreciated.
My LS has a brand new remanufactured rack so I don't think that is the cause. I notice there is a drip of fluid hanging by the turn of the transmission dipstick going into the pan. I think the fluid is either tranmission fluid or engine oil. I don't notice any leak on ground in my garage; so I think it drips only when engine is running.

the POWER STEERING HOSE (high pressure line) commonly starts leaking and it is NOT included in either the pump or the rack when those are replaced.
mine didnt leak until it got to operating temp since the fluid used (dexron III/mercon atf) is pretty thick cold and i had a pinhole leak.

yes, you never refer to the rack. You were talking about the PS hose.
I have been monitoring the power steering fluid level and the level has not drop so far. I'll wait few more weeks to see how it goes. And I will take a look at the PS hoses today. thank you.
