Default What leak this may potentially be?





Hi, sorry these were the best photos i was able to get. Im tryna figure out what this leak might be coming from. It’s a thick yellow fluid. Not sure whether it’s from the power steering rack or cv axle.

Transmission fluid is pinkish/red. Powersteering not too sure it’s from Acdelco. On the fence about this being maybe the powersteering fluid or cv axle grease. If youve got suggestions, please shoot em through

thank you

Were you able to check the various reservoirs for change in level ?

One of them should require adding if involved. What do you think ?

GM power steering fluid is clear, opaque fluid. First thing would be to carefully degrease the area with some spray degreaser, water, and then watch to see what needs fluid and where any leaks might come from. Obviously, it's been going on for a while, so check daily after cleaning. Also park the car over a large piece of cardboard, noting where the tires are located. That might help in locating it.

Drive axle grease will not be around unless the boots are leaking/failed. It's usually more like thinner chassis grease rather than liquid, though. Kind of like a melted butter consistency, but not a fully-melted butter, just warm. Turquoise in color?
