Delta,
Ok so I have a 91 Talon Tsi AWD that has a pretty slow leak of fluid, not sure weather its oil, or powersteering fluid yet. it accumulates near the driver side flip up headlight assembly where that rubber flap is, and after a while a of driving (maybe a week or so) ends up accumlating small amounts onto the outer side of the headlight assembly and onto the hood. I would assume it is power steering fluid because the resovoir has some fluid around the top of it, not alot but it does show up after a while. also the power steering belt squeels for about 30 seconds after a cold start, so i checked that belt and there seemed to be some kinda trace amounts of fluid on the belt. so, you would think with this many problems all in the same area it must be the power steering pump hoses or resovoir right at the front drivers side, well there is no significant leak, its all kinda dirty in the area, but there is no large amount of wetness, so it is very hard to pinpoint the leak, but it must be bad enough to get up high enough to accumlate in my headlight assembly, and eventually onto the outerside of my hood. Has anyone had this simmilar problem? or heard of this problem? please any info would be greatly appriciated...

Thanks
Danny
