Ive just rebuild my my96 wrx engine and put it back in last weekend, everything seemed fine, but when I stop i notice a puddle of oil underneath the car. Its not engine oil or gearbox oil, but either clutch, brake or powersteering fluid, its been leaking for the whole week but the levels don't seem to be dropping. I can't see where its coming from, somewhere behind the engine, but its dripping off the cross member that the engine mounts sit on. It stops after a while when engine is off.

Has anyone had a similar problem, or what exactly is the problem, hope its not engine out time again, I think it power steering fluid but can't be sure.

Cheers for your help.

ps a new clutch and flywheel wouldn't cause excess clutch fluid to leak out of somewhere would it, is there an over flow?

 

have you damaged a pas pipe they can loose a lot of fluid from the resevoir before it even looks like its moved

 

turbo oil return?

 

Can't really see anything, the engine was a pain to get in so hope nothing got damaged, but hope it does need to be removed again to fix the pipes, I try have a good look around the pipes, might be able to repair if damaged. If power steering can loose a load of oil before the level drops then that sounds about right as its still showing full.

Cheers.
