power steering fluid?
edit: brake fluid even? mines leaking from the master cyl but its dripping straight down, so perhaps one of the lines to the front right wheel?

Its not power steering oil is it? It could be coming out of the seal around the shaft, or possibly out of one of the fittings. But if its not engine oil, and its not power steering oil, the only other thing it could be is battery fluid?

But generally power steering fluid is ATF fluid, so yes, the same. Its definately coming out of the car? Dont have a cat or anything do you?

Also, check the transmission lines going into the radiator, and the join at the bottom if its there

the oil ford reccomends for p/s is mobilfluid 424 not dextron which is a yellow colour. anyway, if you say yours is red that wount be it then.
could try degreasing all oer and running it and try see any leaks when the engine is clean?

brake fluid is normally a yellow colour, wont be trans becuase auto transfluid is a dark red colour.
but how you would get brake fluid there is beyond me, its an oily texture a assume my guess its brake fluid of some sort |
