Hey guys so today I decided to pull my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX (auto transmission) out of the garage and noticed a little oil leak on the cardboard I had placed under it just in case. Just a little leak you know?So I jack up the car and that leak GOES BIG. I mean starts pouring full on (might be apparent from the posted pics). And I was confused and shocked.
It’s strawberry colored so I think it’s transmission oil. I can also confirm this because I checked my transmission oils before and after and after, they were nonexistent.
sooooo. Busted coolant line? Maybe the transfer case leak? Maybe something with front differential? I personally don’t think it’s a seal since a seal wouldn’t leak that much right?
anyone have some ideas? Tomorrow I plan to jack the car back up and remove the transfer case.
P.S: this is my first car and the first time I’ve worked on a car. I love DSM (love at first sight) and I’m committed to fixing it myself. Thanks guys
