Has anybody encountered this issue and have a fix? The AHC fluid doesn’t seem to be affected and no leaks around the accumulator or AHC lines. Is there a leak covered behind the running boards?

I will look into brake fluid. I appreciate the response.

Has it been raining? Aren’t the sunroof drains around that area or is that just the driver’s side?

It happens on non-rainy days and when parked on slight driveway incline. Not a bad idea to do a sunroof drain. Thank you.

The oil runs through the front passenger somewhere and drains through the channels to the back. Does anybody have any idea how this is happening? I hope I don’t have to tear down the dashboard to see where?

The heater core is beneath the glove compartment so perhaps coolant?

The oil is light brown that I can’t distinguish between AHC vs brake fluid. So does the heater core have oil fluid ?

Really not sure. But by the time the fluid you’re seeing runs along the channel, I’m sure it picks up all kind of junk making it undistinguishable.
Maybe try parking the other way and then see where the fluid goes.
I just don’t see how an external fluid like ahc or brake fluid can enter the cabin. I also don’t know much
That is an evaporator core, not heater core.

Perhaps a passenger's Mr. Pibb they failed to mention??

Update: I finally found out this oil was leaking from the rear passenger seats hydraulic shocks. Oil puddle onset the seat locks. This oil is now gone and no longer dripping.
