Hi all,
I have a leak in the front right of the Jeep somewhere? (edit ... on the passenger side) I can't seem to trace it up but only see the spray/puddle on the ground below. It is kinda thick like oil but more clear and appears to dry up after a few days on the garage floor.
I tried shining a light up to see where it's coming from but can't figure it out.
Leak isn't there after every ride either. It has showed up a few times in the last few weeks.
Any help would be awesome.
Cheers,

Front right as you're looking at the jeep? So Driver's side? Im thinking PS fluid? Check the fittings on the pump & steering gearbox. Might only happen at full lock, when the pressure is at it's max. Maybe an o-ring gave up the ghost?

opps ya good point... front passenger side...
 
left and right side of a vehicle is always facing forward as you sit in the driver seat. Just sayin. You might have a heater core leak of heater hise leak and it might be antifreez you are seeing if as you say it drys up after a few days.
