Oil leak on incline?
 
I just got my 2004 MSM back from race shop who did a full fluid flush, prior to next month track weekend. Long story short. Car was built for auto X. It’s low on adjustable koni 800f 500r. Has begi(chip torque) tune with rx-8 injectors, innovate scg-1 boost set to 12psi. Fm big intercooler and down pipe.

I park in my driveway that isn’t that steep for 1 day. Find a large oil-ish leak on drivers side slightly rear….maybe 12” by 18”. It feels thin. I’m thinking power steering….

I move it to my side yard which is level and barely 1 drop a day later. I can’t see any leaks from the top….has me leaning more towards power steering, but it still works. I can’t find the fluid tank to check it?

thoughts…track weekend is a month away….don’t need leaks to ruin it

Nothing to it but getting in there and finding the source..

atf and motor oil smell very different, should be obvious what it is

Ps reservoir is right in front of the airbox, mounted to the frame rail.
