kaijun Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 My lovely disco. has oil leak at the front. I see oil dripping is clear. It suggests it is not engine oil. Yesterday, my wife told me she saw a black smoke. Although oil leak is not serious, I want to sort out as soon as possible, let me see if I can repair on my own. I attached a pic. Any ideas?

Les Henson Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If the oil is clear and red, then it's probably power steering fluid. Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaijun Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 I checked brake, ACE and PAS oils, they are light yellow. The coolant fluid is light pink. Are there any other fluids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Only thing near your leak is the front diff - oil is light brown. PAS fluid for your vehicle is ATF Dextron IID or III. I've never seen PAS fluid that wasn't red Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Check your PAS steel pipes - they are a bit prone to corroding and leaking. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaijun Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks Les, Is it easy to check and change PAS pipes from the bonnet? Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
