quattro digest, Vol 1 #4804 - 17 msgs

[Larry C. Leung]

If it's like my car, sadly it's probably the (1 yr old, dammit) rack.
Clean everything off real
well (I used the Castrol pump spray cleaner in the purple bottle) and
then look to see where
the leak comes from. I too thought it was originally the tranny, but now
that the tranny is wet
on it's topside, and since I'm not losing brake fluid (so the clutch
slave is okay) all that is left
to drip from above is your steering rack.

HTH,
