[QUOTE="blert, post: 1043807, member: 64702"] From that area... I would say either coolant or transmission fluid but check the power steering fluid also. MerconV (used in transmission and power steering) is cherry red when new. The transmission has lines going into the radiator for cooling. The seams on the plastic radiator tanks have a tendency to split and at 200k+ miles you are likely due a new radiator. Pull that bottom "shield" off and take a look up in there for where the leak is coming from (wear eye protection, you don't that crap in your eyes). Also take a look at the transmission lines going into the radiator, you can't miss them. [/QUOTE]
