seems to be right underneath the upper DP.







the area right of the 'red bolt', you can see the debri stuck to area where it's leaking.

 

it that picture "up-side-down" ?

post a further away pic so we can get an idea of location.

 

It looks like the flux-capacitor. Gotta get that changed ASAP or at 88MPH you'll never time travel..... LOL.... I can't tell from the pic.. Do you have better ones?

 

here are some more.

it's from right underneath the upper dp.

i did get my first oil change 2 weeks ago and didn't notice this leak before that. do you think it can be from the drain bolt?

Check your oil levels, as that will tell you if your loosing oil after your first recent change. By the looks of the color of the fluid its either oil or TC fluid (Diaqueen). Don't quote me on it, as I cant see a clean shot up into the engine bay area from underneath. Might want to remove the skid plate and take some pics directly up, as well as have yourself a better look.

 

Check your power steering fluid level. Let me know if its low.

 

power steering level and oil level are fine.

possibly the tc?

 

thats a metric butt load of fluid. You really need to take off the undertray and clean it up. Run it on ramps or jack stands and re-check for a leak.

 

That would be my guess, as the color of the fluid is very close to that of the Diaqueen that is used in the TC. How many miles on the car? Tuned/Mods?

 

5500 miles, 2010 gsr.

 

Very difficult to diagnose a leak via the internet. Clean it up real good with brake clean, and start up the car. Have a good look with a flash light and start snooping around until you find it.

 

Just smell it, you'll know if it is from TC (diaqueen) it is really disgusting.

 

just went under the car again and the oil is very similar to the motor oil. it smelled exactly like it..didn't have a disgusting smell like the diaqueen.

i just had the first oil change and used the original drain bolt and crush washer so i'm pretty sure it's just that..or at least i hope so.

i'm out of town this week but will swing it by my cousins shop on saturday and take a look.

wish me luck!

 

Sounds like something went wrong at the oil change, either it's leaking past the drain plug or the oil filter. Or maybe they forgot to install the crush washer. For the record, I re-used my original crush washer on my oil drain plug and never had an issue.

Or they could have just spilled a little oil down the side of the motor when refilling.

 

from the first picture, it really looks like motor oil but that doesn't mean anything coming from some dude on the internet.

i had a leak recently and it was a leaking input shaft seal. there are a very small few on here that have reported ill fitting input shafts causing a leak around the seal. also i've come across another small few reporting a leak from the output shaft of the tc.

you just need to get a good look under the underpanel to see where it is coming from.
