Default Leak need help??

This morning pulling out of my garage I noticed a red fluid on the floor of my garage. This came from my driver side by my front tire.

Any ideas?

Power steering fluid?
Tranny, but I don't think so.

My warranty just ran out at 60000 miles, I have 60032 miles, what a bummer :cry .

Thanks guys.

Feel the inside of your power steering pully to see if there is fluid there. It could also be a break leak.

Thanks I will check tonight and let you know. I hope it is a break leak instead. That would be inexpensive to replace compare to a power steering leak.
:cheers:

I had my P/S unit rebuilt about a year ago. $95.00 if I remember correctly. It's not to hard to remove and reinstall yourself. Call around to find a shop that will rebuild it.

LOL

Ck trans cooler lines fluid may run across radiator support and drip on drivers side.
