Power steering. I am not sure the colour of the CVT oil. Usually it is red also. Anyway bring to SC. But I am quite sure it is power steering. Probably a loose connection between the power steering reservoir and the clip that holds the hose.

ohh, but i check my power steering oil bottle, still very full lol.... its slightly above max level.
and the leaking location is left side, the opposite side where the power steering oil bottle place

CVT is same side as power steering reservoir. The opposite site of the reservoir is where the timing belt is. That is also where the steering is. I think it is power steering fluid. My old car was leaking power steering fluid. But it take 1.5 months to drop from MAX to MIN. It was a Honda Accord btw.

So to Manlet, I think it is power steering. For peace of mind, bring it to SC.

Sorry *I* messed up.

OK, Driver side, is RIGHT side.
RIGHT side has Power Steering Reservoir, Timing Belt

LEFT side has CVT, and power steering hose to radiator.

oh... left side got both, so it could be one of them

if i go check at sc 1 week later is it ok? i realise its just a small patch like few drops on the floor only after leaving overnight

The safest is always to go to SC ASAP, to make sure what is actually leaking. If it is power steering then it is safe to wait. IF it is CVT... it could become more serious.

I *strongly* advise to check with SC.

ah, alright, i will take some time to sc and check, if it is power steering i will make an appointment next week to fix, if CVT, maybe will go fix at lunch time hope they fix for me laugh.gif
