Question:
I have what looks like red ATF fluid leaking off the front driver side trailing arm. It’s red, and the only thing my HDJ80 uses red ATF fluid is the power steering. After a trip to the steam cleaner, and lots of brake cleaner, I have traced the leak to the driver‘s side fire wall, just under the brake master cylinder. However, the brake fluid is not red! Does anyone know how power steering fluid leaks on to the fire wall, and runs down to the trailing arm? As it that is not enough, the leak is episodic. I know it’s power steering ATF, because my truck is manual transmission- 80w90 gear oil is not red! Also the brake fluid is not red. Anyone have any ideas?
