Re: Something is definitely leaking! (516 views) 
Message: I keep replying to my own posts :)

I wiped out the area clean before leaving for home, drove about 32 miles (mostly freeway), arrived home, turn the car off and opened the bonnet... The same area had oil again!!!

Since these are rubber and not filled with oil (confirmed with the dealer), I am puzzled as to where this is coming from....

In an effort to "identify" this, here is the description: it looks "light pinkish" in color and definitely different from the motor oil in color and smell. It smells "fruity" or "something sweet" if that makes any sense.

I touched everywhere around that area to find some residue to be able to trace this, but could not find anything.

Could this be suspension related? Any other source?

Weird, he???
