the leak seems to right at the back of the engine block in the center, which would be lowest part of engine for gravity to have something settle there. It looks like and smells like oil. It is not pink so I don't think its tranny fluid because most tranny fluid is pink. We checked the connector and its not leaking. It has not stalled and runs like a champ. I had it out today running errands for a couple hours. it does not go into limp mode.


the guys I use usually go to for brakes, oil, etc checked it out and couldn't tell where it was coming from. they put dye in the oil, I drove it a couple days and went back and they checked the leak to see if the dye showed up under a black light and it didn't. The oil doesn't appear to be losing a lot, if its the engine. I keep checking and there is still oil on the dipstick.
