Leak on a 93 Camry

[goog1986]

Hi,
I have a 1993 Camry LE L4, and I got a small leak but I can't find where it comes form...
It looks like transmission fluid (it's reddish) but it's leaking from the passenger side of the car. When I park it for a few hours, there's a small puddle forming on the ground almost under the upper engine mount (the one that looks like a dog bone).
Now, I'm wondering if my transmission is leaking or is it my power steering?
Because, if this is my tranny, I got it rebuilted last month, so I'm still under warranty.

Thanks for your help...

Sounds to me like power steering fluid...but in our cars the power steering fluid and the ATF are the same...so it WOULD look reddish.

Check both fluid levels often and see which is going down over time.

Steering rack leak!....U could try Lucas leak stop, if it isn't too bad...shit didn't help mine at all... it was too far gone!

If it is steering rack lack... try Valvoline Transmission Stop Leak. The steering take DexIII auto trans fluid, so the Trans Stop Leak should help.

At least this is just ONE leak. After looking into one of my leaks at the auto-repair shop, I come to find that I have three!

1) oil pan, so no biggy here, just needs oil change and new gasket/seal.
2) radiator, it's visible and have general idea where it is but not sure where it's coming and it's a slow one.
3) possible transmission / steering rack (since it is red), leak from underneath is on the left side approximately.

I'm a bit concern about #2 & #3.

i have a 96 leaking from steering too. a guy that i've showed told me that its from steering engine(?) and costly to replace..

i use lucas however it doesn't stop leak completely. it leaks less. i add a few every week, which is around a small bottle(8-9$) at every two months.

i put 7000 miles after i bought the car and leak didnt increase.

but mine leaks down to somewhere near driver side..


i dont want to change the stuff i had into steering, since its the weakest side of my car, however do you suggest me trying any other brand?
