Uh Oh, this is bad, even though I have no idea what might be leaking, once you start one thing it leads to another. Might as well consider what motor changes you are going to make! Ive seen the I'll paint my motor turn into a $3000 motor in a blink of an eye!Wink It could be a loose clamp and chances are you wont stop there. Be careful of that Vette needs more disease!
In all seriousness hope it isnt much.

Oh theres no doubt that this all steering related. I really want that Borgeson set up that Sarge recommended but yikes...700 bucks. Maybe I'll ask Santa.

Is it dripping by the pump? My big pump seal wiped recently - basically seals the reservoir to the pump. Same big puddle on the drivers side...
