Hi guys,

It's just not my week. Had the coolant reservoir replaced on Tuesday, and yesterday when I took my car out for an 8:00 dash to the variety store, I noticed a large pool of oil, around 4" in diameter beneath my car. It looks like oil, feels like oil, but I'm not 100% sure it's motor oil. It's dripping, near the passenger side front wheel.

It must have just happened because my garage (where I park every night is clean). Also, it only seems to leak under pressure. The leaking did stop after around 15 minutes of the car not running. I added a quart of oil 3 days ago because I was a bit low. Could I have overfilled it? Any ideas??

 

A blocked PCV Valve (?) sometimes causes pressure to build up when it's blocked which leads to oil leaks.

 

Turns out that I need a new steering rack, the oil was power steering fluid... bummer.
