[DeTomaso] wierd leak

[Christopher Kimball]

The rack was just rebuilt about 2K miles ago with grease packed into it, but I'll check just to be sure.

The dipstick looks fine--no water in the oil as far as I can detect.  I'm going to put a jar under where I think the drip is originating so I can determine the actual kind of fluid.

By the way, the engine bay fans stopped working and I thought maybe you had put a hex on them, but it turns out the RV wiring connector I used to facilitate quick removal of the cover was faulty.  A quick fix and I have my own, personal fan club back!!

I just wanted you to know...

Any ideas?





Your steering rack perhaps?



Or, your motor is so blown that you have oil in the coolant AND your radiator is leaking.   Check the dipstick.   (That is, the OTHER dipstick, the one on the engine, not the one who invented the engine bay fans). :>) :>) :>)
