Fluid/oil leak near Midpipe brace ?

PayamFSU · 10-03-2022, 07:16 PM

Was changing out rotors/pads and noticed a small area near the Midpipe brace (maybe about 6 inch forward and 6 in towards the driver side ) . Is this from the drive shaft ? Wasn't in a lift just using a jack, need to put it all the way up but wondering if anyone had any thoughts?

Color? Thickness/texture? Smell?

Clear /yellowish, viscous , doesn't stink like diff fluid

Manual Trans fluid? Has it been serviced recently? Weird location for it though. Hopefully it's not from a hole in a brake line. How's the fluid level in the master cylinder?

It's probably condensation from air conditioning

Leaky clutch slave cylinder line (oring)?
