I see a light green/golden oil color near the back of my motor and down by the axles....also is on top of the abs assembly in the rear p/s corner.

It's not engine oil, coolant, or power steering....what could it be? Trans/transfer case fluid? Doesnt look like its coming from an axle seal. It's looks exactly like if you poured gear oil out in a cup it is that same color. But just dont know what it is or where its coming from and why...anybody have this happen before? Anything common? It looks more green than anything else and deff is an oily substance unlike coolant.

 

Tear in a axle boot will sling axle grease everywhere

 

The boots look good and its not grease, its some kind of oil. Weird because I dont see anything on the underneath of the hood but is on top of the intake.

 

You fill t-case recently? anyone else fill t-case too full and its pushing out from behind axles?
If you replace axle on t-case on passenger side and fugg up that seal on the t-case, it will leak around that as well.

 

Supposedly the motor/trans was put in less than 3k ago so they might have put in too much and it slung up so I think it's the transfer case, going to change the oil in it anyway just debating using diaqueen or amsoil esp. since I get a discount on it and plan on putting it in the motor soon too but I know diaqueen is tried and true

 

Diaqueen you can't go wrong.

 

check the two hoses that go from the back of the head to the throttle body. one is probably cracked and leaking coolant. look at them carefully because cracks are hard to see, maybe squeeze them

 

Coolant wise I can just hook up a pressure tester and I would find any leaks....but it's not coolant, it is a green fluid but not pure green like coolant, it's like a clearish green like new gear oil. I dont know what color diaqueen is so that doesnt help me there. and when I checked the trans fluid it looked like a pure golden color, no green but it was in a shadow so I could be wrong. Either way I steamcleaned all the old junk off and I drive it everyday so I'll be checking it and seeing better where it's coming from, I plan on changing the tc, trans, and rear oil asap. Just did an oil change with some T6, my car is lowered and I still didnt even have to jack the car up to change oil or filter, I was in heaven
