well the car has been sitting for about 4 days and a puddle formed underneath it... I had the oil changed about 1000 miles ago and I've never had a problem with leaking before... the fluid had absolutely no color to it (that I could tell) it didn't have much of a smell either, although it did have a very oily feeling... any ideas what it could be? facing the front of the car, it appears to have been leaking from the passenger side... any input would be greatly appreciated...

 

sounds like brake fluid.... check your levels.... you may have a leaking brake line or fitting .... could also be from the clutch system if you have a 5spd.... I would have expected the leak on the drivers side? since most of the hydro parts are on that side

 

if its the passenger side its the oil pressure switch if not the rear valve cover, check the op switch first

 

Brake fluid usually has a slight yellow tint to it from what ive seen. Its not 100% clear. Almost sounds like tranny fluid.

 

If it has no color then its definately not transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is even darker than engine oil.

 

Im pretty sure some tranny fluids are clear from what I remember.
