This has been wet like this for months, and I cant figure out what it is......and before heading out on the open road thought I would ask you guys what it is and if I need to get it fixed before I leave? I just want to know what it is.....

Could it be motor oil since that is the only thing that goes down some fluid wise? I wonder if when I had my timing belt done months ago they messed up a gasket or something???
Super VXer
could you maybe take a farther away picture??? so we can see where its located

sorry Jack, the ground is in the way LOL....seriously if your looking down with the hood open its the bottom right pulley, whatever is attached to it, but I am really thinking its engine oil and going to have the shop that did timing belt see where its coming from hopefully tomorrow.

I recently had the same area soaked with engine oil after i added some oil and i overfilled by about a half quart(dumb *** me)i opened the fumato valve and drained till it was where its suppose to be on the dipstick and amazingly it quit,i dunno if its coincidence or the over filling caused it to leak,might check ur oil level.
Super VXer
This is on the opposite side of the engine. I never overfill the oil.

Judging by where it's at, I'd say possibly AC compressor or maybe power-steering pump; just a guess mind you, but the fluid appears to be clear or at least clean, suggesting that it's NOT motor oil. Just a calculated guess...
Super VXer
lisa, bring it up to moab and we'll get you fixed right up in the stoop parking lot...
with that many VX minds in one place we can fix just about anything.
Super VXer
Good point Scott, it is clean oil, and almost clear, I was thinking it was AC compressor a few months ago, but thought surely the AC would stop working and it hasnt....yet...
One of the many things we can discuss on the stoop!
Super VXer
did you check power steering fluid level for change?
Super VXer
all my fluids are same level ..... so I am sticking with it being AC compressor......just getting antsy pants before the road trip

yes, & she found 23 cents...Originally Posted by yellowgizmo99

I had a power steering leak and it was in the exact same spot. My leak was actually much worse (drip spot while parked) and the fluid level would barely move. I would say its the power steering pump but AC leak is a possibility. GL
Super VXer
wouldnt power steering leak tranny fluid? Its a clear fluid that is leaking.....but not dripping.....and again, all fluid levels like brake, powersteering etc are staying just the same. I added ac compressor oil with uv last night, NO STOP LEAK, and will clean under there tonight and hopefully when I get back from Utah can see where the UV is leaking the oil..
thanks everyone

Okay I missed you're post on it being clear colored, sounds like you're going in the right direction with the ac compressor. Mine was defintely leaking dexIII
