[QUOTE="Shawn White, post: 996534, member: 70197"] Break fluid starts off clear when new, but turns a blackish green with age, if you haven't flushed your break fluid then I doubt that's the source. With it being cold it can affect the power steering, check the fluid level for the power steering. The power steering reservoir will be on the drives side of the engine right up front, see if it's low. If it's low that might be your source, steering could be a little tight until the fluid comes up to temp. The repair could be simple or could be something more depending on what is leaking. I would start looking around to isolate the leak first, which can be treaky since the fluid runs all over the place. Hopefully you'll get lucky and get a cheap simple repair. [/QUOTE]
