[DeTomaso] leaking

[asajay at asajay.com]

Exactly where under the front of the car is this drip found?

Gear oil would be from the steering rack, mine started leaking about a  
year after I rebuilt it, but that's because we were still learning the  
best stuff to put in.

Another gear is found in the headlight motor.

On cardboard, it can be very difficult to distinguish brake fluid from  
engine or gear oil.  Let us know what you find.
