T5 oil leak S70 1999

posted by  someone claiming to be Wayne on  Sun May 5 01:54 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Just picked up my new to me T5 the other night and have noticed a slight oil leak (2-3 drops a night) coming from front passenger side of engine. I initially thought it was the filter but after getting under the car I can see it dripping from further up the engine- from the bracket where the compressor is bolted to the motor. From above I can see that the hose to the power steering pump was leaking where it goes into the pump- looks like it could be a loose clamp. I tightened clamp but it is pretty rusty so I will replace. Reservoir was low so I topped up. Only thing that has me confused is that the power steering fluid and the stuff that has leaked looks like motor oil and not the red tinted stuff that ATF looks like. Question- Are there any known oil leak spots in this area of the engine and is there power steering fluid/ATF out there that is clear/honey colored? Thanks.
