| | | Re: Pictures Of Mysterious Leaking Fluids Is that your power steering hose? (I'm not positive.)
I've never seen a leaking motor mount, but you may be right.

| | | Re: Pictures Of Mysterious Leaking Fluids The motor mount fluid appears to be an orange/rusty color when they break. I can't tell because the fluid is dried in the photo, but it does appear that the fluid is from the motor mount. The leak on the hose appears to be power steering fluid. You may have a small hose leak, in fact my car is having a new hose put on right now due to a similiar leak. |

YES!!! The liquid on the trans was orange; ok, so that takes care of that issue. The other line with the leak looked to me to be something with powersteering, but I guess I'll have to check it out at the dealership. Thanks again people!!!

| | | Re: Pictures Of Mysterious Leaking Fluids It looks like the motor mount fluid when they break. Mine broke and is "sprayed" on the bottom of the oil pan. Welcome to the broken mount club | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
